Is it possible to add -h, -v to --help, --version?

I would like to make my app behave consistently and add the short variants ala, -v, --version and -h, --help to trigger the built-in AutoVersion and AutoHelp; is this possible? How would one accomplish that?

Start by tracing how the built-in AutoVersion and AutoHelp options are registered and invoked in the command-line parser. Check whether short aliases can be configured for the existing --version and --help options, and verify the expected -v and -h behavior with the relevant parser tests. Done means the requested aliases work consistently or the supported configuration is clearly documented.
