Issue:
Accept -c on command line (as short form of --config)
It is unintuitive that there is no shortcut for `--config` (which just caused some confusion).

It would also be nice if any errors in the command line would be reported when `-v` is specified ... `-v` was used as verbose, and while it then printed the version number, it did not report an error for the invalid `-c` command line. A quick look at the argparse manual seems to indicate that this is not possible, argparse exits after printing the version number. But if someone knows more, please let me know.

Pull request:
#2544 Accept -c as shortcut for --config on command line.
Trivial change, fixes #2544
