Created attachment 70075 [details, diff]
Rework to optparse's behaviour

[quote]
opt_str 
is the option string seen on the command-line that's triggering the callback.
(If an abbreviated long option was used, opt_str will be the full, canonical
option string--e.g. if the user puts "-foo" on the command-line as an
abbreviation for "-foobar", then opt_str will be "-foobar".)

First time I've ever encountered incorrect documentation on Linux. :(
