This feature is desirable for all other builtins. It looks like builtins
only use the short versions of options and not the long versions.

while ((opt = internal_getopt (list, "ahr")) != -1)
    {
      switch (opt)

Title:
  invokation with -h doesn't correpond to usage instructions

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Invoking `disown --help` displays usage instructions

      $ disown --help
      bash: disown: --: invalid option
      disown: usage: disown [-h] [-ar] [jobspec ...]

  but invocation of `disown -h` displays

      bash: disown: current: no such job

  which is inconsistent.
