perhaps -concat/-noconcat ?

That's good, but why not -cat for catenate, where cat(1) gets its name.

Huh, I always thought that cat(1) was short for conCATenate (at least
that's what the man page says).  I don't know if there was something
called "con" back then.  -concat makes sense to me.  -cat ... well, it
doesn't make as much sense to me.

Hmmm...I wonder how to describe the case when the output is not
concatenated...what about:

      --DistinctOutputGrouping

which could just be abbreviated:

      -dog

This almost tipped the scales toward -cat, though :-)
