=head2 Unchanged Syntactic Features
-{{TODO short names, clustering, etc}}
+Several features have not changed from Perl 5, including:
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+The most common options have a single-letter short name
+
+=item *
+
+Single-letter options may be clustered with the same syntax and semantics
+
+=item *
+
+Many command-line options behave similarly, such as
+ -a # autosplit
+ -c # check syntax
+ -e *line* # execute
+ -F *expression* # specify autosplit value
+ -h # display help
+ -I *directory*[,*directory*[,...]] # add include paths
+ -n # act like awk
+ -p # act like sed
+ -S # search PATH for script
+ -T # Taint mode
+ -v # display version info
+ -V # display verbose config info
