I was making a joke on how the state of things changed
while I've been gone. It seems the state of pro and
anti GNU buzz (as there always has been) has began to
escalate due to portability desires, etc. However, I
don't believe the -- issue is particularly relevant
to getopt, since plan9 doesn't even use getopt, so,
shame on you. Apparently, you don't use it either.
Worse yet, you don't know that you don't use it.
Excuse my lack of emoticons or <sarc></sarc> tags:
Booze Brother Shirani has still got me on sarcastic
time and I think I'll be experiencing jet lag for
a few more days.
