However, the manpage doesn't explain what happens to a string argument that contains whitespace. I found by experiment that: --myoption="argument that contains whitespace" does the right thing and passes the complete string as the argument to myoption. However, it's not clear from the documentation whether that will happen or "argument will be the string passed in instead (the documentation does talk about whitespace after the option but that's not quite the same thing). Thanks for your work on this package.
