Subject: Remove old + option form
Long, long ago GNU utilities had long options with a + prefix instead of the current -- prefix. Getopt::Long still recognizes it but as it says in the documentation The "+" form is now obsolete and strongly deprecated. This has been the case for decades. Can it now be removed? Or at least have a configuration flag to turn it off. I ask because it gets in the way of ordinary arguments begining +.

You can disable the '=' prefix with any of the following: * Set environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT to 1 * Configure 'posix_defaults' * Configure 'no_getopt_compat'

That should be '+', of course.
