So is -f.  But we are already incompatible with more modern Picos
in the -n and -W options, so I don't see much harm in repurposing
these four "compatibility" options, when the need arises.

(But what is it that the GNU guidelines say?  Options should not
have a short form when they take an argument?  Probably because
then, when short options are strung together, it is unclear whether
they are all short options or part of it is an argument of something.)
