    I ran the client several times with --rescan, before realizing the correct switch is actually -rescan.

    Why doesn't the client refuse to start and display an error when given an incorrect command line switch?

    Since 0.6, you can either use - or -- versions.

    That said, I'd like to see a centralized option handling be created that is able to detect unknown options and complain.

    @sipa ACK to that suggestion!

    +1.

    Closing this issue, as I'm not sure it's relevant (if it is please reopen).
