#7190: Allow multiple long synonyms for same option

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The comma syntax "blargh,b" works for a single-character option synonym,
 but if I want multiple long names for the same option (e.g. for backwards
 compatibility) I see no way to do that, especially when defaults come into
 play.
