Well, we can't remove the -H option, for that reason.  But I think
we could get away with repurposing -h to also mean "--host", rather
than "--help" as it is now.  Seems unlikely that any scripts are
depending on it to mean --help, nor are users likely to expect that
when none of our other programs treat it that way.
