Hm, might be... The reason I added the "--io=<type>:<options>" was the
"<options>" part.

For example, we have a non-HCI radio adapter that uses
"--io=uart:/dev/tty<n>" syntax, or remote radio using
"--io=tcp:<host>:<port>" syntax.

So maybe I could parse  "-i <n>" and  "-i hci<n>" (where <n> is a
number) as a shortcut for "-i generic:hci<n>"?

That would allow us to merge both options and rename "--index" to
"--io".
