:/ So if you really need to, we will have to add some PARSE_OPT_STICKARG
or sth alike that would check that the argument was "sticked" to the
option either with `-wA,B,C` or `--long-opt=A,B,C` depending on the fact
that an option is short or long.

Yes, I am not sure if the right solution is to just say "we are changing
how -w works". Because it either must change, or it must be inconsistent
with the rest of the option parsing for the rest of eternity.

Though note that you can't migrate things that use init_revisions and so
on to parseoptions yet, because revisions also have dashed tokens (--not
e.g.) and that the first run of parse_options will just hate it and

Ah, yes. I hadn't really considered that angle yet (my basic testing had
just been on non-dashed revision parameters).

I will table this patch for now, then, since it obviously is too complex
for v1.5.4.

Thanks for your input.
