It should only be -v and --version

--v is not necessary and can be removed, but -v and --version are required by the GNU standard.
Meanwhile, we have -version apparently for backwards compatibility.

I think eui is brand new, we never had that particular command name before, it was ex and exw before. So, we've already broken backward compatibility. The problem is we've released RC1. I don't think this will have wide spread compatibility issues so I think we should remove v and -version.

Yeah, let's kick -version to the curb.

-version has been removed.

Do any of our other utils suffer from the same problem? or from -version? We should update them all to be -v, version.
This may conflict if any uses -v for verbose, which I seem to recall something doing that

I'm pretty sure that this was an accident, probably caused by the original author getting the options to cmdline.e wrong.
Do a grep for `"version"` followed by `"v"` on the same line of text.
