Re: [PATCH] Use recommended long options syntax in man page

[Richard Stallman]

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

The equal sign makes it clearer that what follows is an argument
for the preceding option.  That is the advantage of it.

This makes no difference when you or I read a script, but it can help
people who are not experienced and not confident.
