Proposal: to fix a missing feature in the Haskell implementation of GNU getOpt. Currently, long option names _must_ have two dashes (e.g. --foo), whereas this patch permits a single dash (e.g. -foo) where there is no short option name to be confused with it (e.g. -f).
Are, you sure this is a good idea? What if options are passed through, or the -f option is later added? Then users have to change there scripts, maxefiles, etc. that use these options. I don't think this scales well. /Thomas
