I seem to recall it was intended for some debugging scenario (e.g.
turning off lots of features helps simplify things).

I agree it's overly weird.  The "no init files" functionality is very
useful though, and naturally maps to -Q (by analogy with -q).  Maybe
if those other features are useful they could be triggered by a
separate option; specifying two short options is not much harder than
one.
