I most definitely DO propose eliminating contextually
dependent multiple meaninsg for "-i". Its silly and stoopid
to fuss about with single character options.

Unfortunately there's no way to fix the issue properly.

There are 3 usage cases of -i.

and there is --help and "man rpm".

AFAIK, all 3 usage cases are documented in both places.

Any other change (like unclear or imprecise or obscurely positioned or ...)
is in the eye of the beholder and needs positive suggestions on
specifics, not broad general RFE's or comments illustrating perceived
flaws.
