Heh, "tar" is a different breed, isn't it?  It can have a clump of
single letter options among which more than one take parameter.

And it works now (obviously not in the case we're discussing, but in
other cases that don't run afoul of the typo fix), so I think people
would see that as a regression.

Sure.
