You mean it DOES differentiate between -h -e -l -p and -help, right? They are different flagsets.

- Aissen 11y agoNope, not under GNU options, they aren't. It's just a culture difference, nothing special. The Go team comes from an old unix background where long options with a single '-' was standard. GNU changed that, and a good part of the world standardized around it (but not the X11 people for example); now the cultures collide, and people don't understand why the behaviour is different.
