@alecthomas Sorry for the direct ping, is this functionality something you'd be open to supporting in kong? There's been a few cases where I've wanted to migrate away from an flag name to a better name, but keep backwards compatibility. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Apologies for the delay, I somehow missed this PR.
I think adding flag aliases is a great idea, just one change please.

Done, thanks for the review! |
Fixes alecthomas#303 Aliases are currently only supported for sub-commands, but they're useful for flags as well. E.g., when migrating from an old flag name to a new flag name, while still supporting the old value.
