Also note https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/42/42669.html. You see, your solution fails if '-1' were supposed to be read literally as a positional parameter. The only solution is to make getopt-long more intelligent in how it applies the pattern specification. On the whole, both mine and Marius' patches are now years old and the outstanding bug list is massive; these things are not going to get done without a sea-change in the project administration. Dale
