I generally think supporting -? and -h is the usual thing. SysV
loves -?, most real folks like -h.

I've never seen -V mean verbose. I just queried all of
coreutils, and as most folks expect, -v means verbose. Statistically,
I'd be interested in seeing statistics. I've never used a program where
-V meant verbose. I've never used a program that had '--verbose' where
'-v' didn't mean verbose. tar(1), rsync(1), chgrp(1), chown(1), cp(1),
mkdir(1), all use '-v' for verbose.
