--- Comment #2 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
The getopt_long interface is problematic in many ways, but it is unlikely that
we'll ever add a different command line parsing facility to glibc, considering
that there won't be any consensus what a replacement should look like or how it
should behave.
