You could also use a long option for that without a one-letter option,
like --file-path or such, so reserving a one-letter option for a
future, hypothetical use is not really a stopper in my opinion.  In
consequence, I think that that it is fine to just use -f/--filenode.
Any objections or better suggestions from other folks here?
