Description:
------------
Now that PHP 5.3 will have getopt() available on all platforms, I think
it's important to also make it as usable as possible.

Currently, getopt() does not report in any way if there were any wrong options provided on the command line. It would be nice to be able to give the end user feedback on non-existing options he/she provided, or about options he/she provided that require a value but for which no value was supplied.

The ability to retrieve a list of option errors should be provided, either by:
- throwing an exception
or
- a 3rd by-reference array argument to getopt()

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Expected behavior.

I didn't report this as a bug, but under the category "Feature/Change
RequestFeature". I think this is a good enhancement and do not
understand why it gets closed with a standard reply of "Please
double-check the documentation".
