Are there notable side effects you would need to warn users
about?

For example, what is the difference between "--igrep=foo
--author=bar" and "--grep=foo --author=bar"?

```

Nah, let's not try to be too subtle.  It does not work.

What I am wondering is if there is an unintended option name
conflict if we simply accept "-i" and "-E" as synonyms to
"--regexp-ignore-case" and "--extended-regexp".  The option
parser for log family in revision.c is used from many places,
so it is a bit hard to verify everobody to be absolutely sure,
but I do not think of any offhand.  There indeed are commands
that take "-i" to mean something other than ignore-case, but
ignore-case would not be meaningful for their operation.

So I would rather prefer this replacement patch.

-- >8 --
Synonyms: -i == --regexp-ignore-case, -E == --extended-regexp

These options to log family were too long to type.  Give them
shorter synonyms.

Fix the parsing of the long options while at it.

Sounds good to me.
Let's just put short option names in front of long names in the doc to
be consistent with other sections.
