OTOH:

* when cumulated to the still-recent patch adding the long forms, not
  using a synonym is shorter

* if it is just "adding a synonym" without deprecation, it only
  adds a new option for little gain; OTOH deprecating such an old
  option may not be such a good idea (not to mention it would make the
  patch longer ;)

* The --find-* forms are still shorter to spell
