I don't know if you make a bug or you thought it. When I run fan help for example, I have to do
fan -help
instead of
fan --help
In unix envirornments, options that are a words precede "--" and only chars, "-". For example "fan -h" and "fan --help", but not "fan -help"

Well no one said fan does follow that line of thinking. And sometimes it's better (not allways).
I definetely prefer having to say
fan build.fan doc examples test full
instead of:
fan build.fan -detf //or -fetd or -etfd
But yeah sometimes I wish there is an option to give arguments a shortcut Unix way. PS. To be clear Unix way shortcuts are groupable ( -detf means doc examples test full).

It was only a suggestion, for completeness. But do what you want (polite)
Thanks, Xan.

The single dash options follow the tradition of Java.
Although, it might be helpful to special-case --help for new Linux users who type it out of habit.
