| Nowadays, most people are not running `scalac` from the command line. | ||
| Instead, they use sbt, an IDE, and other tools as their interface to the compiler. | ||
| Therefore they may not even have `scalac` installed, and won't think to do `man scalac`. | ||
| The Scala command `scala`, which runs scripts or compiled code, accepts the compiler options plus a few more that determine how to run a program. |

"the same options as the scalac compiler", where "the compiler options" meant "options to the compiler".

This does not work for me:
$ scala scala.tools.util.PathResolver
Ignoring spurious arguments: scala.tools.util.PathResolver
Welcome to Scala 3.1.3 (17.0.3, Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

It's scala 2, scala.tools vs dotty.tools. Worth mentioning.

The newline is just for readability and not illegal? Perhaps change the comment then to:
// for better readability, put the next option on a new line

it improves writability, so I said something like that. Autocorrect says "irritability", which is closer to the truth.
