[Bug-tar] stricter command line options: bug or feature ?

[Mike Frysinger]

with the switch to argp from getopt for cmd line parsing, tar has gotten a bit 
more stricter in terms of the order of arguements

for example, tar-1.14 (pre-argp) would accept this:
tar c somedir -f somefile.tar
(a tar would be created from the directory 'somedir')

however, tar-1.14.90+ (post-argp) now dumps the contents of 'somedir' to 
stdout while writing this to stderr:
tar: -f: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: somefile.tar: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
