Also defaults to -I-. These are separate options, and need to be
considered independently, though their behavior is somewhat similar.

Independent.

That's right. Two -I options would turn it off again.

WIth -i the origin will match the input, as the rays are traced from
there. With -I, the origin will not match the input, as I said.

Again, -i and -I do not toggle each other. With -I+ set (either
using -I alone or -I+), the -i setting become irrelevant. Think of -
I as superseding the -i setting.
