I've never heard of this convention. Every getopt-style CLI tool I've used has identical behavior whether an option is specified in its short- or long-form.

Any rust cli built with clap or go cli built with cobra supports short and long help and surface these with `-h` and `--help` (I think cobra surfaces this in the help command rather than in the --help, which is probably a reasonable alternative way to frame this)
