postgres/postmaster accept --any-guc-variable=value. AFAIR all the
single-letter options these days are equivalent to one of those.
There's not anything else to do there, except perhaps fix the
documentation (I'm not clear on why Table 17-1 is where it is and
not on the postgres command reference page).

I can't get excited about inventing short options for pg_config.
