No. Those who want `short' can use -I. Although --ask-once does sound nice, I want to keep things minimal, in case we end up providing similar functionality for other commands, where adding a long-named synonym might make an existing abbreviation ambiguous -- --ask-once would do just that to cp --a(rchive). > I'm kind of stumped for a good mneumonic, but maybe a > different spelling would be helpful, such as --ask-once?
