    Description

      In my application, I have multi-character short options. I'd like to require the user to specify such options precisely; allowing substring matches will lead to my users' confusion. For example, if I have -f and -foo options, and the user specifies -fao, I do not want it interpreted as -f with value ao. I want parsing to fail.

      It would be great for a parser option to control this behavior, defaulting to be enabled, for backward-compatibility.
