I missed it in my review. -1 from me on using a short option letter for
this. It may be second nature for you, but for most people this is
going to be just another obscure option.
If, after we put this to field, a bunch of people say "I use this option
all the time, can we make it easier?" then we can think about giving it
the -l name.

Well, even if it doesn't convince anyone else at least it makes me feel

unless someone else wants to get to it first.
