Yes. You've caught us. We made -I and -l work just like Unix -I and
-l so you'd have to buy a support contract.
But the Cabal (there is no Cabal) has decided that you couldn't pay us
enough to make a support contract profitable, plus, any staff forced to
deal with you would leave. So you've foiled our little plot.
(Seriously, I don't sell support).

I apologize to the list for encouraging Igor. Unless there is a radical
change in his behavior and a profuse apology to everyone he has insulted,
I won't be answering further mail from him.
