I'm fine with "sigs", my point was only the fact that non-abbreviated words seem to be much more common in the flags names (and are easier to remember). IMHO it doesn't really matter if the flag names are long: One probably doesn't type them on the command line often, they typically live in .cabal files, .travis.yml and pragmas where you type them once.

No, and I actually like the long names, see above. :-)

 

Then the docs are out-of-sync: http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-guide/using-warnings.html#ghc-flag--Wlazy-unlifted-bindings
