"(the least length unambigous switch name == full switch name)", eh?
Won't life be fun for your shell programs and your customers when you
add a new option that makes a bunch of old abbreviations obsolete...
And of course you won't be able to run anyone else's software, or get
anybody else to run yours.
I trust you plan to go through the documentation and remove the word
"UNIX" wherever it appears.
