Comment #2 on issue 2139 by address@hidden: Doc AU: command line options - where to use equal signs in short and long term definitions
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2139

Before I dive in to this, I think we need some consensus.

At the moment we have (for example)

-d,--define-default=var=val

I am not sure that

-d=var=val,--define-default=var=val

is better - it might be OK on this single line, but in context of the whole chapter in the AU I am worried it's slightly 'too much' to do this on all the listings.

What about


-d[--define-default]=var=val

or

[-d | --define-default] =var=val

or some other variation where we don't need to repeat the qualifiers/arguments.

looking at some random Linux command with '-h/--help' there isn't that much consistency.
