An easy way to get application version only: should be useful for application testing and cutting pixz version from its output.
Our own use case is to test external application builds such way: run it with version flag (and compare the output) which is much easier to do with version only output than huge usage info.
PS. I've used -V (capital v letter) to leave a v-place (lower case) for verbose if it will be needed once.
