I was wondering about -Qi too: Finding the contents of the "Required By" 
field takes some time and I want an option to only show the information 
that is cheap to get. That same thought would apply to -Si. Maybe abuse 
-q here (as it has no effect on -Qi or -Si yet) and omit those checks 
with -Siq or -Qiq.
