Maybe that's exactly the difference to Ruby et al: the GNU tools exist
much longer and have for sure learned their lessons of burning short
options. ;-)
BTW: the user is not lost with today's implementation:
$ users -h
users: invalid option -- 'h'
Try 'users --help' for more information.
The step to the get help isn't too hard with that information, is it?
Have a nice day,
