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?

There are two forms of numbered file output names:
the traditional "0001-Foo-the-bar" and just "1" styles.
Please don't break that.  Both are needed.

Thanks,
