    You also don’t need the dash for the short options.

    True, but I refuse to entertain such a non-standard option format. It’s already enough to tolerate find’s.

      Technically the notation with dashes is the non-standard one - the dash form is a GNU addition. A traditional tar on something like Solaris or HP-UX will throw an error if you try the dash notation.
