I think it's time to close this bug. I've just rewritten the option handling for equery, and where previously the command was:
equery modname -a -b -c
you can now do:
equery modname -abc

Imagine if you could use -m, --modname instead of modname, you'd have an option parsing nightmare where this would be legal:
equery -mabc

There are other concerns, for example, where:
equery files --filter=bla
could become:
equery -f -f bla

Let's close it.
