I need to a see a consensus from a variety of developers that "--version" is the right answer, and not "-V/--version", etc. Both are ok for me. "-v" as a shortcut for "--version" looks wrong, though. "-v" is almost always used for verbosity these days. Adding -V could be incompatible with existing users using it for something else. A default '--version' seems like a sensible solution to me.

Note that even though I agree with you that "-v/--version" is probably not the best choice, in the poll[2] 11% of people still wanted this. This strikes me as a small minority. Regards Antoine.
