Amen to that, David. I'm a tech-writer in my day job, and just to make sure,
I sometimes document a command option like this:
-l ("dash-ell")
or
-1 ("dash-one")
This reminds me of the escape sequences for one of the font cartridges used
by the original H-P LaserJet printer (mid 1908s). The sequences were
absolutely "pessimal": full of zeroes, capital "O"s, lowercase "l"s, and the
digit "1"s. It's like they were trying hard to discourage you from using
their product!
