My take is that the idea to remove the -I- semantic was wrong. I
don't see the value in randomly respelling existing options. Instead
of this patch, I think we should just remove the deprecation of -I-,
if people didn't want to do that, than I think this patch is
preferable over not doing anything.
If you don't see the point of separating the two distinct operations
that -I- performs, so that people who need just one can have it
without tripping over the other, then I decline to argue with you. It
*was* a mistake to deprecate -I- without providing replacements for
all of its functionality, but at the time we had good reasons to
believe that *no one* used the ignore-directory-of-current-file
feature [have you noticed that under relatively plausible conditions,
disabling it breaks syslimits.h, for instance?]
I think Daniel's patch is entirely sensible, and if I still had patch
approval authority, it would have gone in already.
