Note, interactive, and no-clobber don't have to be exclusive... Here
is an example of them combined: Interactively see if the person wants
to overwrite, then say, oh, you can't do it because you told me not
to.
Then -n -i would say it can't overwrite a certain file, and not even
have to ask.
-i -n would ask, and then say, can't overwrite or similar.
I don't think that makes sense... why are you asking if you won't do it
anyway?
I believe that might not be the posix way though... Image magick
order matters... actually in cp order matters... So order could
matter here too.
The order of -f and -i already matters, as I understand, so I don't see
the problem extending that to -n (especially as -f, -n and -i are all
closely related).
