I guess I should stop reading my inbox in reverse order. In your reply to my v3 review you said you studied all the codepaths from parse_short_opt() and parse_long_opt() and addition of -3 was needed only for the "ambiguous" case, so the answer to my question above is "I was just lucky and happened to have hit the only problematic case" ;-) Will revert what is in 'next' and queue this one. Thanks.
