What's wrong with the stance that this was a historical mistake and should never have been allowed? It's a lot easier to handle, i.e. do nothing but apologise to plugin devs who want to use short options. > so that plugins that have a registered single character will be able to > use it in py.test versions that have that association saved > > we could even go as far as making the registry a extra pytest plugin > that can be updated out of band from pytest itself A plugin is probably the best way to go here. It also means we'd be exposing the register functionality via hooks which is cute as it allows alternate registries to appear. Your definition of cute may obviously vary, but I think this would work out fine and no chaos would ensue.
