[Boost-users] [program_options] Can I use shorthand options with more than one char?

Hello, I am currently migrating an old application with some weird command-line arguments. While using Boost program_options, I try to keep some of those arguments from the old version of the application, to assure the compatibility of some user scripts. My problem is that I couldn't find a way to add shorthand options with two or more characters. For example, if I add: ("testOption,to", "This is just a test-option") to the options_description, I only get -t as the shorthand for testOption. Is there some way to use longer shorthand options?
