Actually I was thinking of -rcfile as "including" another rcfile, which
would be doable from inside another rcfile, just like all other options
can be put in an rcfile (though I admit it's weird to put -listdev or
-help in an rcfile... heh)

I wasn't exactly thinking of the possibility of using a given rcfile
_instead_ of the default rcfile lookup, and actually, both behaviours seem
to be useful in some way... so would we need two options for that or...?
