Subject: [ruby-core:63244] [ruby-trunk - Feature #9960] [Open] Add support for GNU --long options

Issue #9960 has been reported by Jari Aalto.

----------------------------------------
Feature #9960: Add support for GNU --long options
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9960

* Author: Jari Aalto
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
----------------------------------------
Please consider adding GNU --long option equivalents. Notes:

*) Prefer uppercase "V" for version, as small "v" is customarily user
   for --verbose.
*) Change word "switches" into more commonly used "options" word
   in USAGE line. 

SUGGESTIONS:

Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
  -0[octal]       specify record separator (\0, if no argument)
  -a, --autosplit
	autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into $F)
  -c, --check
	check syntax only
  -Cdirectory, --directory DIR
	cd to directory before executing your script
  -d, --debug
	set debugging flags (set $DEBUG to true)

  -l, --eol-processing

	turn on tainting checks
  -V, --version
	print version number, then turn on verbose mode
  -w, --warning
	turn warnings on for your script
  -W[level=2], --warning-level NUMBER
	set warning level; 0=silence, 1=medium, 2=verbose
