There isn't really any code involved for "make correct syntax" as |
| 16 |
myaction doesn't include the --, we just strip those from |
| 17 |
"correct" actions, and I don't see a way to make a multi-purpose syntax |
| 18 |
correction function without knowing future cases. |
| 19 |
In the long we run we should probably replace the whole option parser |
| 20 |
stuff with some standard code anyway (getopt or similar). |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 28 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
