Now, if you have the options, --source and -s, you need to enter the parameter as --source -s.
NOT: --source or -s or -s --source.
We might want to consider making this more lenient.

Research direction
Start by tracing how help-file parameter entries are parsed and locating the existing tests for option-name handling; the issue does not name a file or test. Reproduce the documented --source/-s examples, then add coverage for each accepted ordering and confirm help generation treats the aliases leniently.
