It's a small point, but here's my opinion. You say something like: "If option requires a value and following -<number> doesn't match an option, then parse it as an argument".
I would suggest "If option requires a value then parse *any* following string, including -<number> as a value, unconditionally".
So the different would be that -a -b where both "a" and "b" are allowed option and "-a" requires a value, will be reported as invalid value of option "-a" not as missing value on the command line? Why do you think that's better? - Volodya
