How about using long options for all options, e.g.
--all-root,
--force-uid=,
--force-gid=, (seems squashfs uses such naming).
since I'd like to leave short options for more common usages.
And you might need to update manpage as well, so I can apply it
ASAP...
(Btw, even compact inodes have 16-bit ranges, we could introduce
some mapping table to remap sparse uid/gid into a compact form,
if that is what you want, you could help to implement it as well :) )
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
