Yes I did.  This is the lingo CPU designers us when they mean that
they want a class of instructions to look similar.

But we can do better than the old ways!

Well how about for all of scp, ssh and sshd:
	-1 conflicts with nothing and looks like SSH.com
	-2 conflicts with nothing and looks like SSH.com
	-d conflicts with nothing and turns on debug stuff
	-P [port] to set the port to use
	-o [options] to set other options

All the other stuff could stay for back compatibility.
