You're suggesting that the abbreviation must include some part of the last
word of the option name? Or that it must include the last character? I.e.
is rm= ambiguous?
The main problems I foresee with that are
* The last word (or an abbreviation of it) might match some earlier
portion of the option name, meaning that the user intended to specify
(part of) the last word but the characters were matched against an earlier
portion.
* It's possible for a string to match the last word of multiple options.
E.g. given options raster_map and raster_2_map, rmap would match both
equally.
