Makes since. It sucks we the help can't list them as separate
options, but it is good enough as is.

Will -v, -vv and -vvv stop working? If yes, then I don't think we
should switch as what we have is currently working fine.
Sorry, perhaps I was unclear before.
-v, -vv will continue to work (-vvv didn't work before, but will
start to work after the change).
What I was explain was pure semantics about which were options.
Currently these are separate options:
-v
-vv
With commons-cli using the posix parser, both of these become one
option:
-v
Which can be given multiple times, as in:
-vv
-vvv
-vvvv
Works, basically the same as the '-v' option to SSH:
<snip>
-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh to print debugging messages
about its
progress. This is helpful in debugging connection,
authentica-
tion, and configuration problems. Multiple -v options
increase
the verbosity. The maximum is 3.
</snip>
The main difference is (other than how its implemented) is when
looking a --help, it won't show a '-vv' option, just a '-v' option
with some docs that specifying it more than once increases the
verbosity. Another side affect is that one can also do:
-v -v -v
which ends up the same as:
-vvv
Make more sense now?
