I want to add -i to be compatible with GNU, but I can't figure out how getopt(3) can best be used to deal with an option that may-or-may-not take an argument. I tried to prefix optstring with : and catch ':' and so on, but it doesn't seem to work as I expected it. Is that the best way? If so, I'll go ahead and do what it takes to make it work, but that seems really yucky. Thoughts?
