So you propose that --interactive alone be equivalant to
- --interactive=always or -i, and that the long option for -I is
- --interactive=once. Is it worth having a shorter spelling for the long
option for -I? I'm kind of stumped for a good mneumonic, but maybe a
different spelling would be helpful, such as --ask-once? Once we decide
that, I will be happy to resubmit, and add some tests as part of the
resubmittal.
