>As for the “'foo!' => \$foo” thing I misunderstood your example >(I thought you were pointing out a bug or ommission) because I >*expect* the exact behaviour that you say is “non-strict”. This seems to be a common reaction? Why? You wouldn't say --foo --no-foo if you just meant --no-foo Would you? It also seems to be a programmerly reaction, which leads me to the thought that maybe the name I want is Getopt::User because the primary design goal is to present the user with predictable option processing.
