Don't add an option. Just do the eject. Even a PC user will like that.
It's also nice to notice the new disk immediately, instead of waiting
for the user to press enter or similar.

Back when I put all of Slackware on floppies, it was great that the
drive would automatically eject the disk when done. This got my
attention and saved time.
