  | That would be in conflict with long existing practice....

Apparently not in most versions of sort.

  | If you like to disable -s, better use +s

No, + options don't work in general, and would be even more difficult to
support in sort because of keeping backward compat with its old key 
specification syntax.

If we need a different option (really need) then we simply use a different
option (for which we'd simply allow both, the new, and -S).
