So gnulib could have --enable-c++.
I guess I missed some discussion on bug-gnulib. Overall, "cplusplus"
seems like it would have been simpler/more customary. (That ++ causes
endless hassle everywhere.)
Easier to remember option names? Dunno.
I'd say the opposite: allowing lots of "random" characters makes it
harder for users to know/guess/remember option names. Aside from
technical issues with quoting and the like. Overall, my thought would
be to allow as few characters as possible. [-_A-Za-z0-9] and + if we
have to seems perfectly sufficient to me.
Personally I think - should be used in preference to _ wherever possible
in option names, for the reason above: easier for users to remember if
there are fewer variances.

Sure; later.
Thanks. Will await :).
