    Description

      This may break some of the parsers and\or some other conventions, but I think
      it would be nice if you could have multi character options that only require
      one hyphen. On programs that have several options, the single hyphen options
      don't seem to be very intuitive. It would be less of an issue if you could
      hide the single hyphen options when you use the help formatter, but as it is
      now the user has to view all of these single hyphen commands that don't really
      mean much to the user.
