The word "count" adds something when you're looking at all options
in isolation of their subcommands (option names are global).

The --strip-count name matches the variable name in the code.

Those are two reasons I see for keeping it the way it is.
But if you'd really prefer using only the short form, that's fine
with me. I don't really care.
