That is apples-to-oranges comparison, as the original is not even a long option so it won't be -o=filename anyway. So the "i+1" (as opposed to "i + 1") loses justification. Since the option is implementation detail, having to spell its value separately is OK, though. > Eventually we'd like to migrate all of this this to parse_options(), > which would make these differences in behavior go away. Perhaps, but if it does not matter now, it shouldn't be worth code-churn later, either. Thanks.
