Description:
------------
Currently you can you getopt to support the following formats

-t
-p=value
-p value
-o[=value]
--test
--param=value
--optionalparam[=value]

NOTE
-o [value]
--optionalparam [value]

are not supported at the moment.


What I would like to have supported is ...

-t-
-t+
--test-
--test+

This would provide a fix for 23859 by allowing you to explicitly state the boolean value rather than relying on the arguable counter-intuitive value returned for boolean tests.

It would also allow you to be able to document default boolean flags and supply a method of disabling them using the same flag rather than having to have an enableflag and a disableflag setting.


If people have been using + or - in there long parameter names, then I suppose this will be a BC for them, but in simple testing it looks like you can't have them in your long opts.

Please.

Regards,

Richard Quadling.
