I mainly agree with you. But does it hurt too much to have, let say, a dictionary of short options?. Yes, you could say that if I have the time to waste on making a dictionary, better work on the development of X. And yes, you're damn right!.:-)
Doesnt matter if the verbose option has a meaning in Perl or not. With standarized (does that word exist?) options and a reasonable amount of time, -v wouldnt exist, just -V.
The main point here is that options being standard is a major help to those clueless newbies, and not only to them. I hope the effort GNU is doing bout that concludes with success.
