Defacto short switch for version is "-V". "-v" is verbose.


As is quite clear in this thread, there really is no unified way of doing things.

Uppercase switches also strikes me as not very intuitive, either you need to look at the help page or you have to have the same mindset as the developer.

And still, the distinction between lowercase and uppercase switches are not easy to remember.

For the power user though it makes sense.
