Well, the smarter way would be to add the alias directly to the Getopt::Long options, and then make all functions use the same form, but I did not want to disturb the semantic distinction between the singular and plural forms in the code.


Actually, I find this is a valuable semantic distinction for me as a user as well. Because you can perform some actions on multiple languages at a time, and some actions on only one language at a time, having to type the correct option helps me keep these separate in my mind.

If the --lang and --langs options were to be mashed together, we'd really need an error message for the actions that can only be performed on one language at a time that says something like "You can only package one language at a time."

Then of course people might wonder why we have an option called "langs" that only allows you to perform an action on a single language.

Maybe we should just leave it as it is.
