This incompatible change fixes an inconsistency with other commands
where '-L' is short for '--load-path'.

* guix/scripts/refresh.scm (%options): Add --load-path option from
%STANDARD-BUILD-OPTIONS.  Remove #\L shortcut for --list-updaters, and
remove --load-path option that lacked the #\L shortcut.
(show-help): Update accordingly.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix refresh): Update accordingly.

Hi!

This patch fixes a CLI inconsistency.  It introduces an incompatibility,
but one that's probably acceptable: '--list-updaters' is rarely used.

Commit 21f4fbdd8453e489fb89825c4226a0a0bda2bc17 purposefully
introduced '--load-path' without the '-L' shorthand; in hindsight,
reclaiming '-L' for '--load-path' sounds preferable to me.

Objections?

Ludo'.

Absolutely not.  I can't imagine anyone using ‘guix refresh 
--list-updaters’ in scripts.

If somebody (=again, not me) does object (=a thing I definitely 
will not be doing), I'd still make the change but special-case an 
‘-L’ as the last argument as a deprecated alias for 
‘--list-updaters’.   With a big fat warning that it will stop 
working one day.

Thanks!

Seems nice, but because it's an incompatible change, maybe a short
channel news entry would be good?

Greetings,
Maxime.

Since this is very much an edge case, I’m not sure it’s worth it, but no
strong opinion.  Thoughts?

I think a news entry would be good.
