+**Stricter option flag parsing**
+
+Commander now throws an error for option flag combinations that are not supported.
+In particular, a short flag with multiple characters is now an error.
+
+```js
+program.option('-ws, --workspace'); // throws error
+```
+
+A short option has a single character:
+
+```js
+program.option('-w, --workspace');
+```
+
+Or from Commander 13.1 you can have an extra long flag instead of a short flag to allow a more memorable shortcut for the full name:
+
+```js
+program.option('--ws, --workspace');
+```
