[Bug libc/4690] getopt_long "--arg=val" and "--arg val" are not the same for "optional_argument"

It "has to be" undocumented?

Perhaps you simply skimmed over this request.  Is it really a policy to not
document something?

It would be nice if the documentation stated that the two forms are
interchangeable except when using /optional_argument/ where --arg=val is the
only acceptable form because --arg val is entirely ambiguous.

It's a simple matter of correcting the documentation to reflect the actual
implementation in glibc.

Please reconsider adding this small note of distinction to the documentation.
