Description

Some "bin/solr" parameters accept only single-character short-opts (e.g. "c"). Others only accept long-opts (e.g. "-collection"). While a third set of parameters accepts both short and long options.

Sometimes this may be intentional, for instance when multiple parameters start with the same letter and would conflict if both had a short-opt. But in other cases it appears coincidental.

It's very low priority, but we may want to resolve this inconsistency at some point as much as possible and offer both short and long opts (at least where possible).
