Subject: Feature request: --not-foo as alternative to --no-foo
When an option is declared as boolean 'foo!' then --no-foo and --nofoo are understood to negate it. I suggest that --not-foo should also be accepted. (Depending on the rules of English, sometimes the negation sounds better with 'no' and sometimes 'not'. I have a program that takes a --really flag; the opposite of that is --not-really; calling it --no-really sounds like some kind of sarcasm.)
