_grn_ doesn't already use the option letter "I", and this way we can
parallelize and make consistent all _groff_ commands' use of the option letter
name space in this respect.
I anticipate no withdrawal or deprecation of `-M` in _grn_. I don't think
_grn_ has any application nowadays _except_ rendering of historical documents.
I'm not itching to break forty-year-old Makefiles, for example. There's no
migration path away from it apart from switching to a completely different
picture format.
