I think you could use the --alias option ?

I also thought clap's visible_alias function could be use for this. However, I as far as I can tell it is not possible to mimic GNU's behaviour with alias. The problem is that alias is only for the long flag, i.e. with .visible_alias("R") the user would have to type --R.

OK, TIL :)
Could you please add a comment to make it explicit in the code? thanks
