What new CLI options? Mosh pretty much doesn't have any, you use SSH if you want to do what SSH does.

Stuff like connecting to different port, you need to do --ssh="ssh -p 1111"

Oh, that's because you're running SSH under the hood. I see what you mean, having the port be passed to SSH would be better from a UX standpoint, but the thing is that mosh doesn't do everything SSH does, so it would need to fake every SSH option and then pass them through. As it is, you only need to learn --ssh and you can do "--ssh=ssh -D 8223 -L 1234:localhost:1234" etc.
