Hi Neal,
as Dave already mentioned, I'm not really in position to hack on anything
right now ;-) I do recall, though, that the behaviour you describe was
intended only for optional values, so if "-f" has optional value, then
"-f" "-1"
is interpreted as option "-f" followed by "-1". If that's the behaviour you
don't like, we can discuss what can be improved. If there's some other
case, then it's a bug.
Since I'm not likely to have CVS access where I go, this issue might have to
wait till I'm back.
