I don't like that, because it would take three option-letters in total
to implement the same function in different variants.

The old -d and the new -D'$^' would be the best in that -d would go back
to what it was and -D would provide the much needed feature in two
variants (possibly more in the future, if needed) while only taking one
option-letter. The only problem is that it looks ugly.

For the record, just -d'$^' is impossible, because it would break
existing command invocations.
