Aahz,
  Since the current behavior of getopt is to allow both, I'd be
inclined to keep it that way.  There are lots of applications that
already allow both (Python & otherwise; I don't think it's original
behavior with getopt), I'm inclined to allow both rather than just
one, and wouldn't want optional arguments to screw that up.
