The word "count" adds something when you're looking at all options in isolation of their subcommands (option names are global). The --strip-count name matches the variable name in the code. Those are two reasons I see for keeping it the way it is. But if you'd really prefer using only the short form, that's fine with me. I don't really care. Stefan
