Does this introduce any incompatibility?
I have thought hard on this but I can't think of any.
For example, would i
change the behavior of:
curl --output =x https://example.com
That's a valid existing command line for which the equals sign is part of the
argument to --output. The new handling does not change this and it will work
exactly like before.
The new parser only detects and works if the equals sign is used directly
"attached" to the right side of a valid option name with no space in between,
like --output=x. This syntax can be made supported without causing problems
exactly because it does not work at all with the old (existing) parser
