Description
When I pass -i C:\somefile\here while also using -J gatewayUser@gatewayHost the -i is NOT passed to the child process.
Is this a bug or is there some other way to pass the identity file?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows command with -i C:\somefile\here and -J gatewayUser@gatewayHost, then trace how the identity-file argument is handled when the child process starts. Done means the identity file is passed to the child process, or the supported alternative is documented if that behavior is intentional.
