You are probably calling the program incorrectly. A non-broken getopt has no
trouble with such things. When executing a program from a normal Unix
shell, single or double quotes (like you do above) is enough. I'd expect
other environments to behave in the same way.
If -q only eats the string "SQL", where does "1 TABLE" go? It cannot
just disappear; does it end up in 'args'?
