Yes, it's out of the question that we should keep the original letters.
I've just pushed a commit that reuses <C> for both -i and --color (<C>ase and <C>olor, we can still pretend it's mnemonical), simply because there are templates out there with <C> in them, which do not include "--color".
If anyone really wants to change it to <O>, be my guest.
I wonder how many third-party code uses the templates with <N> that it needs to be documented.
I haven't found any. OTOH, it doesn't hurt anyone either. Maybe the right change would be to make the code use it, actually. Are there use cases for changing the value of null-decide dynamically?
And speaking of needs, what is the use case for "--color" without "always"? Instead of special-casing Windows and DOS, why don't we always use `always' for coloring?
