I see that your copyright paperwork finally went through last month,
so we can finally deal with some of your older patches.

Thanks for an almost perfect patch.
It looks fine, except for the part that changes
`--interactive' to be equivalent to `-I' rather than to `-i'.
If you restore that part and add a test or two, I'll be
happy to apply it.

--interactive has been equivalent to -i for so long, we can't
change it now, even though the semantics of -I are more ergonomic.
