Hi!

I've just played a bit with `getopt' and get unexpected output whith
optional arguments:

jbglaw@jblaptop:~$ getopt -o '' -l 'noo,aa,foo' -- --foo ss -- bling
 --foo -- 'ss' 'bling'
jbglaw@jblaptop:~$ getopt -o '' -l 'noo,aa,foo:' -- --foo ss -- bling
 --foo 'ss' -- 'bling'
jbglaw@jblaptop:~$ getopt -o '' -l 'noo,aa,foo::' -- --foo ss -- bling
 --foo '' -- 'ss' 'bling'

I would have expected the 2nd and 3rd invocation to generate the same
output (thus, to place `ss' behind `--foo', as it was done only in
#2).

Looks like a bug? Or did I mis-read the man page?

MfG, JBG
