    AFAIK, -- is supported only by GNU getopt (and maybe compatibles).  I
    think there's no guarantee that an arbitrary program will support it.

If you encounter a program that doesn't use GNU getopt
or equivalent, please suggest adopting that feature.
It would be convenient for users if all programs supported it.
