To quote from the mt(1) man page:
The available commands are listed below. Only as many characters as are
required to uniquely identify a command need be specified.
`retens' should be a legal alias for `retension', along with `ret', which
it what I think most people use. OTOH, I think mt is parsing it fine,
since:
$ mt blah
mt: blah: unknown command
