I wouldn't expect it to work, since long options are documented to
need the equals sign.
This is incredibly surprising and also inconsistent with the man page, which doesn't have equals signs for most options. Let's just document what everybody expects, i.e. that all options work with and without equals sign, and with one or two dashes.
