$ rm --p
rm: option `--p' is ambiguous
Try `rm --help' for more information.
Yet `rm --help' only mentions --preserve-root, since --presume-input-tty
is intentionally undocumented. Is there a slick way to tell getopt_long
that a particular option must not be abbreviated, and therefore that it
cannot be ambiguous with other options that can be abbreviated? It boils
down to the fact that for all undocumented long options, we don't want to
be accepting abbreviations or confusing the user with false reports of
ambiguous options.
