I could be very clever and detect when there are no arguments
that require floating-point parameters, and allow such short option
names in those cases, but opted for simplicity and consistency.
-Q: Why does Trollop disallow options appearing multiple times, despite
- the POSIX standard allowing it?
-A: Because basically I think it's confusing, and more often than
- not, a symptom of you making a mistake (e.g. getting lost in a long
- command line and accidentally setting the same thing twice.)
- I also don't see that much advantage to "-vvvvv" over "-v 5", so
- Trollop will produce an error if you try to use the same argument
- multiple times.
