The interface of this program was rather strange. It took an option that specified what to do, but that option behaved exactly like a verb. Let's change the interface to the more modern style with verbs. Since the inteface was documented in the man page, provide a compat shim to handle the old options. (In practice, I doubt anybody will notice the change. But since it was documented, it's easier to provide the compat then to think too much whether it is actually needed. I think we can drop it an year or so.)
