Bug #1128: OptParse outputs a misleading display
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1128

Author: Roger Pack
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.0 (2008-11-15 revision 20237) [i386-mingw32]

as discussed

>> require 'optparse' ; OptionParser.new do |o|
     o.on('-p', '--123456789012345678901234567890=NAME',
       'multiples variant ex: ') {}
   end.parse(['-h'])

Usage: irb [options]
    -p=NAME
        --123456789012345678901234567890
                                     multiples variant ex:

"When short + long + value + description are too long to hold on a single
line, optionparser tries to present it better, and it shows the bug."
i.e. it shouldn't show -p=NAME and it should be -pNAME.
Thanks!
