Description
## Enhancement proposal
Currently, in order to render a scene with projection shaders, one has to type two lengthy flags: `--use_projection_stroke_shaders --use_projection_fill_shaders`. This is quite inconvenient and annoying; they should either have shorter names or aliases. In addition, since the shaders are always meant to be used together, they should perhaps be combined into a single flag (but perhaps not removing the two separate flags, as they can be useful for debugging purposes).

Research direction
Start by locating where --use_projection_stroke_shaders and --use_projection_fill_shaders are defined and how rendering options are combined. Check the command-line help and existing flag behavior; done means shorter aliases or a combined flag work while the separate flags remain available.
