I know it's not much of a justification, but several System V vendor
compilers support that.  From 'man cc':

  -#, -i  Turn on driver debugging. Print out each command with its options
          and arguments as invoked by cc before the command is executed.

  -##, -ii
          Print out the full pathname of each command, in addition to the
          command, its options and arguments as invoked by cc before the
          command is executed.

  -###, -iii
          The same as -##, except that the command is not executed.
