Thank you for pointing this out, and I have confirmed it as follows:

$ gdb --version
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 9.2-0ubuntu1~20.04) 9.2

$ info gdb|grep -m1 -A2 -B2 'as enough of '
   Many options have both long and short forms; both are shown in the
following list.  GDB also recognizes the long forms if you truncate
them, so long as enough of the option is present to be unambiguous.  (If
you prefer, you can flag option arguments with '--' rather than '-',
though we illustrate the more usual convention.)
