 The option description class only allows to create options which have
 either a long and a short name (using xxx,y syntax) or a long name. But
 there's no way to create a option which only have a short name.
 It would be nice to include such a feature in the future, since many
 programs have are short name options which don't have a long name
 correspondent.
