No. G_parser() (and thus g.parser) follows Unix convention in its
interpretation of flags, i.e. "-abc" is equivalent to "-a -b -c".

The double-dash flags (e.g. --quiet) are all hard-coded; it isn't
possible for a module to define its own.

If single-character flags aren't suitable for whatever reason,
consider using a multi-valued option, e.g. "flags=cl,ch,mi,ma".
