Start in LYMain.c:

/*
 * This function performs a string comparison on two strings a and b.  a is
 * assumed to be an ordinary null terminated string, but b may be terminated
 * by an '=', '+' or '-' character.  If terminated by '=', *c will be pointed
 * to the character following the '='.  If terminated by '+' or '-', *c will
 * be pointed to that character.  (+/- added for toggle processing - BL.)
 * If a and b match, it returns 1.  Otherwise 0 is returned.
 */
static int arg_eqs_parse ARGS3(
        CONST char *,   a,
        char *,         b,
        char **,        c)

Presumably, what you want is _not_ to terminate an argument with a '-'
as described in the comment.
