That violates the option style guidelines for Unix programs (*), and
is not supported by the standard getopt(3) library function.  It can
only accept options that either always require an argument, or never.

Proposal: -T filename

(*) I know other programs violate them, too.  But that's no reason to
follow bad practice, and in particular no reason to give up on using
standard getopt(), and roll our own...
