{{{
$ ghc -I
ghc: unrecognised flag: -I
did you mean one of:
-I
-F
-v
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.
}}}
Which is confusing (Unrecognized `-I`. Did you mean `-I`?), and not
informative (No mention of the missing argument)
I expect something like "missing argument for `-I`", or a basic usage info
on `-I` instead.
It looks similar to #9776 to me.
