flaggie -h does not work #6

flaggie -h

At argv[1]='-h': h seems to be an incorrect global flag

For common sense of having -h/--help in cli tools this should be handled differently.

To be precise, jlec is the first person to report that. Personally I am always pissed off when I get an error like that and have to type --help.

I'd rather avoid that. It would make the syntax quite inconsistent, and you seem to be the first person to use -h instead of --help.

Isn't it possible to add -h for convenience?

As you can see in flaggie --help, there's no -h :).
