A question for Jon Gibbons: In JEP 293 the guideline is that tools
should support `--help`. Do you think this should be expanded to
include `-help`, and `-?` (and maybe `-h` where it make sense)?
I think we should standardize on --help, and -h where possible, as the
standard options.
I think we should continue to allow -help where it has previously been
accepted. I don't think we should add -help for new tools.
I wasn't aware that -? is in common usage. If it is, it makes sense to
allow it.
