 > Does it make sense to you?

 Not really. I'd much prefer a general solution, i.e. if an abbreviation
 matches multiple options, and one of them is a prefix of all of the
 others, the abbreviation should be deemed to unambiguously refer to the
 prefix option.

 So e.g. if a module has "raster" and "raster_3d" options, "r", "rast" and
 "raster" would all be deemed to unambiguously refer to "raster", while any
 abbreviation intended to refer to "raster_3d" would have to include the
 "3" (e.g. "r3", "r3d", "rast3", "rast3d", ...) to ensure that it cannot
 also match "raster".
