Description
I think current verbose language description is great when you do not know the tool. But if you do know the tool but just need quick reminder what each argument is, it would be great if there would be a way to auto-expand commands. E.g.:
ls -AqQ
Would be converted to:
ls --almost-all --hide-control-chars --quote-name

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing verbose command-description flow and the command-line parsing entry point; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Determine how a separate expand mode should be selected, then verify that short options such as -AqQ are rendered as their long forms while preserving the command's meaning.
