Why not use '-V' for version, and '-v' for verbose (or vice versa)?
Perl and Python both do this (opposite ways round, as it happens).
Ruby uses '-v' for both (see man page); make and cc use '-v' for
version, awk and grep use '-V'; there's no existing 'standard', so
it's just a question of which way round. If we're voting, my +1 would
be for '-V' -> version.

Why not using the same logic that we have with ant -p and ant -p -v.?
We could have ant -v -version and ant -v -diagnostics.
Having started working on this now, I've discovered there are a few
issues
with this approach.
1) With the current argument handling logic, this would only work if
the
user specifies "-v" first: if user specifies "-version" first then
argument handling stops immediately, the version is shown & Ant exits.
2) When "-v -version" is specified by the user, the current argument
handling logic actually shows the Ant version twice.
I would prefer not to do a major rewrite of the argument handling
logic
just to implement this feature. Is anyone opposed to adding a new
"-fullversion" argument?
