Right.  Unfortunately I just found that -m is sometimes used as a modifier
(-dm makes sense) and sometimes standalone (-m instead of -w).

Actually it seems to be better to disallow only combinations which
explicitely don't make sense, but to allow any combination which make
*some* sort of sense.  The rules would be, afaics

- Don't allow -d with -l.
- Allow any other mix of -d, -l, -m and -w.
- Don't allow -u with any of the above flags.

Did I miss one?
