+ --alias ALIASES OPTIONS Create aliases for an option string. Unless
+ an alias starts with a dash "-", it is
+ prefixed with "--". Arguments are parsed
+ according to the Python string formatting
+ mini-language. Eg: --alias get-audio,-X
+ "-S=aext:{0},abr -x --audio-format {0}"
+ creates options "--get-audio" and "-X" that
+ takes an argument (ARG0) and expands to
+ "-S=aext:ARG0,abr -x --audio-format ARG0".
+ All defined aliases are listed in the
+ --help output. Alias options can trigger
+ more aliases; so be carefull to avoid
+ defining recursive options. As a safety
+ measure, each alias may be triggered a
+ maximum of 100 times. This option can be
+ used multiple times
