Great! Do you prefer the short option to be "-k" or "-K" ?

I would vote with Eric and use -k to be consistent with xy and bzip2.
They are the closer related family of tools.

I guess I voted for -k when I implemented it in lzip. :-)

Using -K for --keep would be an anomaly among gzip-like compressors.


Best regards,
