opt: add an int decrementing helper function
opt_dec_intval decrements an int value, just as opt_inc_intval increments. There is not much more to say, other than it allows this kind of thing, with balanced opposing options: static int opt_verbosity = 0; static struct opt_table options[] = { OPT_WITHOUT_ARG("-q|--quiet", opt_dec_intval, &opt_verbosity, "print less"), OPT_WITHOUT_ARG("-v|--verbose", opt_inc_intval, &opt_verbosity, "print more"), OPT_ENDTABLE }; which is an occasionally seen idiom. It allows, e.g., people who like quiet to use `alias foo='foo -q'`, while letting them get back to normal and verbose modes with various amounts of '-v's.
