Hi David,
Maybe you can rely gnu getops doing the right thing with '--no-p' when
typing. In scripts I recommend to use the full option. Try the
following ls(1) examples to see how the getops allows truncating long
options. I think it is unfortunate option shortening is not widely
know.
ls --h
ls --he
