<pre>When there is a problem with an alias option used on the command-line, the
error printed can (will?) print the aliased option name, not the version on the
command-line. In some cases this is fine, but it can get confusing if the
command-line is long, or a user is unfamiliar with the alias to original
mapping. For example:
C:\Work> llvm-strings -t z C:\Work\TempWork\test.o
llvm-strings.exe: for the --radix option: Cannot find option named 'z'!
Note that --radix is printed and not -t. (Aside: the incorrect spacing has been
reported as <a class="bz_bug_link
