Well, whenever I don't check something I'm punished for that :-)

Alexandre wrote that. I just repeated after him. I couldn't find anything in
standards.texi about abbreviations.

So it's probably a de-facto semi-standard. But even Automake doesn't follow it:

$ automake --h   
automake: unrecognized option -- `--h'
Try `automake --help' for more information.
