The last one is truly diabolical. ;-)

This is where having some sort of syntax style option would be useful
because there are cirumstances in which a developer might want

<yourscript> -qfoutFile

(noting the use of "F" to avoid duplicating "f") to be equivalent to

<yourscript> -q -f -o -u -t -F -i -l -e

Is this regarded as bad style?
