But they *are* ordinal.

Now?  What is the order?

less warnings to more warnings, what could be more
ordered than that!

  It works just fine for -O,

Exactly what happens with -O?  -On does not necessarily
generate faster or better code when n is higher.

-On means more optimizations for higher n, simple enough?

In fact, -Os is a perfect example of a short name that is NOT
a number.

right, because -Os lies outside the more optimizations for
higher values rule.

I agree with Dave Korn, I do not understand your objection.

I would understand an objection of the general kind that you
prefer mnemonic names to numbers, but that ultimately is just
that a preference, nothing more. You seem on the contrary to
be trying to make a substantive argument against the digit
scheme, but I can't understand it.
