[bug #13041] -i and - shouldn't be exclusive

[Andreas Metzler]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #13041 (project findutils):

This is also reported as <http://bugs.debian.org/231480>.

FWIW I do think that this is not only a mising feature but a real bug. "xargs
-i -L10" silently acts as "xargs -L10". I'd rather have it bail out with
"conflicting options instead". A command-line using -i will not work at all if
-i is ignored, as the arguments are given in the wrong order and additionally
a literal {} is passed along as argument, too.

(I'd prefer having -i and -L as non-conflicting options, though.)
