Go doesn't allow for specifying multiple short flags all run together, or for flag args without spaces, so neither of those are directly relevant here.

Also, that first issue happens with POSIX flags (with the GNU long flag extension, anyhow): `grep -help` is different from `grep --help` (and if you type the former, it'll just wait patiently for you to close stdin).




Because of Go, I have to monitor what language a command-line program is written in before using it.
