-namespace is quite long and I've wished for a shorter version multiple times now. Apparently, though, introducing an alias can be controversial if all you have is single-dash flags like `-namespace` (vs. `--namespace`), since `-namespace` could then be interpreted as `-n -a -m -e ...` etc. Not sure whether that's an _actual_ concern though, since we do have single-letter flags already (`-v` and `-j`, for example).
