> We have some "short" options that are really "long" ones: namely -int and -sd in the run task. This is against the idea of short and long options in Unix (and argparse follows that). The main reason to have short options is that you can combine short options:
> {{airflow task run -iAlm}}
> When you have more than one letter "short" options this might become quickly ambiguous. We do not have -s yet but if we add few more options this might become a problem.
> Also in the argparse documentation [https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html] it's mentioned that short options should be single character only.\
> This should be fixed.
