--- Comment #1 from Peter Alexander <peter.alexander.au at gmail.com> ---
I agree, but I wonder if there's code out there relying on this?

For those that aren't aware, getopt declares these globals that can be
customized (it's by design)

dchar optionChar = '-';
string endOfOptions = "--";
dchar assignChar = '=';
string arraySep = "";

I can easily imagine a windows program changing optionChar to '/' for
consistency.

Not sure what to do about this...
