This will create a minor incompatibility with another ping
implementations. I mean, some people may be using this in their
script:
ping -c 4
which will break when -c is changed to accept optional argument.
Eh, why would this break anything? In the above example, you
explictly give an argument to --count. I was thinking about allowing,
ping -c gnu.org
which would ping gnu.org 3 times.
