Yeah; in particular the rST formatting corrects this minor inconsistency. (I noticed it because my emacs find-and-replace operations which turn @var{foo} into *FOO* were incorrectly turning the @var{-s} into *-S*, which they wouldn't have done if it were @code{-s}...) thanks -- PMM

Texinfo defines @var for metasyntactic variables and such terms are shown in upper-case or italics in the output of makeinfo. When considering an option to a command, such as "-n", upper-casing is undesirable as it may confuse the reader or be in conflict with the equivalent upper-case option. Replace the use of @var for options with @code to avoid this.
