Thanks---I didn't think of using !isprint() but you are right.  It
is much shorter.

I am not absolutely certain if it is easier to read, though.  I get
always confused when asking myself if SP, HT, and LF are printables.
(in other words, I cannot immediately answer "does 'printable' mean
'can be sent to a teletype and have it do what is expected to be
done?"---the question I should be asking myself is "is 'printable'
synonym to 'when printed, some ink is consumed'?").

Sorry, but I do not quite follow.  We used to allow anything below
0x7e; now we clip that range further to reject anything below 0x21.
If [128] was big enough, it still is big enough, no?

Because the type of .short_name member is "int", we could have had
negative number in there and access to short_opts[] on the next line
would have been out of bounds.  By clipping the lower bound, we get
rid of that risk, no?
