From the keyboard of bvs@light.UUCP (Bakul Shah):

:I'd also like a similar set for turning *on* options so that
:regardless of defaults one can specify an exact behavior.  If
:people don't like options that start with a +, how about -<option>
:to turn *on* <option> and -/<option> to turn it *off*?

Ug.  Just use -x and +x.
