So I could read and understand the first example with no issue. At first I was like “yah!” and then as I read on I realized, “yup, your right it is gobbledygook” Then I read this post and said, “chubot you know, you are correct, but I am to old to learn your new fangled —- stuff”.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have mistyped - for — and —- for - over the years without thinking about it. Maybe we should make the command expect both and guess based on what’s after. That would make the CLI better.

The reason most tools don't is that they allow stuff like rm -rf and tar -xvf, rather than rm -r -f and tar -x -v -f. But that seems to be optimizing for the uncommon case now, given how many tools and flags there are. Nobody can memorize them all!
