As discussed on yargs/yargs#1454 even though there are plenty of valid usecases for single-digit aliases and many well stablished examples, it is still completely unsupported on yargs-parser. This changeset introduces the possibility of using this simple numeric alias in the context of boolean flags.

Following up from the discussion from: yargs/yargs#1454 even though there are plenty of valid usecases for single-digit aliases and many well stablished examples, it is still completely unsupported on yargs-parser.
As brought up by @benjie many standard unix tools uses such pattern, after reading his examples and giving it some thought, I ended up classifying them in two groups:
xargs -0kill -9gzip -1rsync -6git log -3grep -3This changeset introduces the support to the first group described, in which single-digits can be used as alias in the context of boolean flags.
