Yeah, but beyond that, I can't see any disadvantage to it. It's practical, relatively intuitive syntax. + isn't conventionally used for anything else, being partly conventional for this already, and it works to combine multiple options into one.
The fact that they seem backwards seems like something that's easy to get used to over time. It's like electrons being negatively charged.
- jolmg 4y ago> Usually, the `-x` option means "enable something", which is fine when you think of the "-" as a dash, but introducing `+x` encourages you to think of them as minus and plus; To get used to it, one could think of it as a crossed-out dash instead of a plus. Crossed-out means that the dash is disabled.
