I thought we were looking for "better" not "easier for the parser".
*shrug*  Let's not start fighting about getopt just now.

You mean, un-deprecate them?  TBH I prefer these (from mount_nfs(8)) :

             Historic -o options

             Use of these options is deprecated, they are only mentioned here
             for compatibility with historic versions of mount_nfs.

             bg           Same as -b.

             conn         Same as -c.

             dumbtimer    Same as -d.

             intr         Same as -i.

             kerb         Same as -K.

             nfsv3        Same as -3.



             rdirplus     Same as -l.

             mntudp       Same as -U.

             resvport     Same as -P.

             seqpacket    Same as -p.

             nqnfs        Same as -q.

             soft         Same as -s.

             tcp          Same as -T.
