Comment:

 Pretty easy. See for example the way we allow different spellings of
 "optimisation" vs "optimization":

 From `Distribution/Simple/Setup.hs`:
 {{{
   noArg (Flag NoOptimisation) []
         ("disable-optimization": case showOrParseArgs of
               -- Allow British English spelling:
               ShowArgs -> []; ParseArgs -> ["disable-optimisation"])
         "Build without optimization"
 }}}

 I'd like to make it even easier in future. Just declare flags with a
 single current name and a list of allowed deprecated or alias names. The
 latter would not show up in the `--help` output.
