Nope.. generally long options are preferred unless the functionalities
are vitally important so that it deserve a short version (I don't want
to have arbitary option list from `a` to `z`, also if some common
alphabet is used for an uncommon usage, it will be hard to remove or
switch to a more useful usage.)
