I checked freebsd and netbsd man pages, both seem to use -i as well.
I could not check openbsd one, the page is unavailable.
Where can we find other (older?) bsd man pages?

I was fine with this change because it thought it was needed for every
BSD platform, but seeing it is just a mac osx change almost makes me
want to reconsider. Why did they change that?
And if you just use COMMAND_MODE=legacy to restore the normal interface,
this patch is no longer needed?
