Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-3992:
---------------------------------------
I'm no expert on --help conventions, but I don't like the idea of moving --domain-config out of its alphabetical position. Perhaps duplicate and change the relevant text to include something like "Same as --domain-config" and "Same as -c"?
