I seem to recall it was intended for some debugging scenario (e.g.
turning off lots of features helps simplify things).

I agree it's overly weird; the "no init files" functionality is very
useful though, and naturally maps to -Q (by analogy with -q).  Maybe
if those other features are useful they could be invoked by a separate
option.
