What about other double-letter instances like -ii?
Ah, sorry for the double post; I'd had trouble confirming that it went up and just sent another attempt. I am unaware of other double letter instances; it is likely that those too should be documented in a similar way. This is to prevent future confusion such as I had while trying to find pacman's syntax for 'ignroe deps' (--nodeps sounds like it to me!). Very likely any other double/+ options should be documented as well if the effect isn't obvious (-vvv increasing verbosity is more of the same; deps would mostly seem like an all or nothing thing).

Some people are for such change: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2011-April/019795.html but the people in charge are against https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23698
