Wow, this surprised me. I expected guix package -Iregexp to be equivalent to guix package -I -r -e -g -e -x -p which is how getopt long works in the shell. > Today, the Guix manual is lying because the optional argument for > short-name is *not* optional depending on its position.

What I would suggets would break -Iregexp and as such deviate from SRFI-37, so it wouldn’t be optimal. It would first need another SRFI so it’s no shortterm fix :-) The commandline handling I want is this: https://www.draketo.de/english/free-software/shell-argument-parsing But I don’t yet have a good way to do it in Guile.
