# Less was written before getopt existed.  Now some people would like less to
# conform to getopt syntax, others want it to use GNU long option names...
# Doing either of these would cause some existing syntax to stop working, so
# I've been hesitant to change it.  I have recently added special cases for
# GNU "--help" and "--version", and now "--".  Maybe I'll start phasing out
# the problematic syntax and move to a more standard syntax.

(*choke*) What, is everything moving to --silly-long-option-names-that-take
--option-continue way-too-long-to-type?

Ick, in a word.  There should be single-option keys, still, as cryptic
as they are, for those of us who can actually be bothered to learn
them.
