If the '-e' parameter is only in 4.0, then I would definitely prefer
to see it changed (one way or another) before 4.0 is released. Either
change it to be '-I', or change it to be more of the "edit" function
that openbsd has.
My guess is that it'd be quicker to change it to -I for now, and
add a -e later on. Is there any unix command where "-e" means
"totally wipe out" something?
(note that I dabble with both openbsd and freebsd systems, and
it would be really painful if I typed '-e' on the wrong system!).
