Interesting idea. Normally, later options override earlier, so 'df -h
-H' is equivalent to 'df -H'. This is so that one can alias 'df' to 'df
-h' and then type plain 'df' to get the same behavior as 'df -h', while
being able to type 'df -H' to get the other behavior. With that in mind
if we made the change you suggest, such an alias would mean that if you
typed 'df' you would get the behavior of ordinary 'df -h' while if you
typed 'df -h' you'd get the behavior of ordinary 'df -hh'. So there
might be an opportunity for confusion there.

We could of course use a different option letter (unfortunately -B is
already taken...).
