I didn't see anythiing in the doc but is there some compelling reason why short names for options was limited to a single character? The code fails an assert if the short name is more than one character. It just seems like an unnecessary limitation.

One-character short options is the standard command line syntax. If you want abbreviations, then abbreviated options are already supported. - Volodya
