Print the whole incorrect argument as specified by the user
instead of the short option.
Before:
$ virsh --debu
error: option '-d' requires an argument
$ virsh ---debu
error: unsupported option '-
$ virsh --debu c
error: option -d takes a numeric argument
After:
$ virsh --debu
error: option '--debu' requires an argument
This doesn't make any sense at all. --debu should error out so as the
next example of yours:
It's just a shortened form of '--debug'. This behavior is consistent
with many other programs using long options since it's what GNU
getopt_long does.
