Hi,

I believe short options must be exactly one character.  Thats the meaning of
"short option" in most contexts.  I'm guessing, but to support parsing
'-I1', you'll probably have to follow the guidelines for "Non-conventional
Syntax" that are part the manual.  Making it synonymous with --input_1 is
another problem.
