Now that I look at it again, it seems the long options look quite
inconsistent. I think it should be either
--numbered-files/--no-numbered-files or --numbered/--no-numbered. My
preference is with the latter (for brevity), but that breaks
backward-compatibility.

Would you accept a patch that changed --numbered-files to --numbered,
and kept the former as a synonym?
