This is just a small nit that, I suppose, is for the maintainer of 'getopt'.

In "/usr/share/getopt", resides the file: 'getopt-parse.bash'.  Line 9 
of that file is:

'# ./parse.bash -a par1 'another arg' --c-long 'wow!*\?' -cmore -b " 
very long"'

which, in a moment of haste, led me to think I could just "cut-n-paste" 
it to the bash prompt to run the example--no joy.

Changing line 9 to:

'# ./getopt-parse.bash -a par1 'another arg' --c-long 'wow!*\?' -cmore 
-b " very long"'

would allow that.  i.e., keeping the command line keyword the same as 
the file name would be a nice touch.

Thanks,


Lowell Anderson
