  Your argument makes no sense.  You said that there was a problem because
people will expect numbered -W options to be ordinal.  But they *are* ordinal.
 So people's expectations will be correct.  You haven't said anything about
where the problem is yet, you've just asserted that there will be one without
demonstration or evidence, so again I ask: What's the problem?

  It works just fine for -O, users understand and are happy with that, why
shouldn't it work just as well for -W?
