Argument leader about massren HOT 6 OPEN

If I'm not mistaken, this is a feature of go-flag - it automatically displays the arguments as -n, --dry-run on POSIX systems and /n, /dry-run on Windows. I think the parser supports both though, so it's still possible to use -n on Windows too.

Yes, I'm afraid of case that windows user may do like follow:

C:\>mkdir C:\n
C:\>massren /n

Hmm, but wouldn't the second example only apply to someone using Cygwin or equivalent? And even then, I believe they'd need to do something like massren $(cygpath -w "/n"), which would translate the path to the backslash one.

Actually as I don't use Windows much I don't have a strong opinion on this one. If it turns out it's an issue, I don't mind defaulting it to the -n syntax.

The windows users who uses linux often too are using path / separator. This issue is not an issue for cygwin users. And quote "/n" don't fix this case. If want to fix this issue, you will have to fix the argument leader as -.

If this is about using commands like, C:/massren.exe /n, they work (and will work) perfectly fine as long as you put spaces between arguments (the same behaviour as POSIX systems)

In GitBash (terminal comming with Git on Windows) massren --help display flags as /help but they do not work.
For example:

massren /V

open the editor with single line \ inside.
