This module is now tested using test-suite/tests/getopt-long.test.
The following bugs have been fixed:
*** Parsing for options that are specified to have `optional' args now checks
if the next element is an option instead of unconditionally taking it as the
option arg.
Also, this module is now tested using test-suite/tests/getopt-long.test.
*** An error is now thrown for `--opt=val' when the option description
does not specify `(value #t)' or `(value optional)'. This condition used to
be accepted w/o error, contrary to the documentation.
*** The error message for unrecognized options is now more informative.
It used to be "not a record", an artifact of the implementation.
*** The error message for `--opt' terminating the arg list (no value), when
`(value #t)' is specified, is now more informative. It used to be "not enough
args".
*** "Clumped" single-char args now preserve trailing string, use it as arg.
The expansion used to be like so:
("-abc5d" "--xyz") => ("-a" "-b" "-c" "--xyz")
Note that the "5d" is dropped. Now it is like so:
("-abc5d" "--xyz") => ("-a" "-b" "-c" "5d" "--xyz")
This enables single-char options to have adjoining arguments as long as their
constituent characters are not potential single-char options.
