Personally I find that doubling of flag to change behavior breaks
POLA unless it's the option for 'verbose'. I can imagine a bunch
of scripts that might accidentally add flags to existing flags
causing breakage. Sort of like if 'cc -g -g' did something odd to
the generated debug symbols.
Just my opinion though.
