You may have this in the queue already, but just in case:

POSIX now specifies that if a standard utility has extended options,
then you accomplish it with ``-W option-name[=opt-arg]''.
I wouldn't care, but I wanted to add ``--noprofile --norc''
to the command line and, for debugging purposes, I aliased "bash"
to "bash -x".  Oops.  Two issues:

1. I'd be nice to be able to interleave short and long options, and
2. "bash -x -W noprofile -W norc" should also work.

Thank you so much!  Regards, Bruce
