Jakub Wilk <jwilk at jwilk.net> added the comment:
GNU programs seem to use this format:
$ ls --help | grep ',.*=[A-Z]'
-I, --ignore=PATTERN do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN
-T, --tabsize=COLS assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8
-w, --width=COLS set output width to COLS. 0 means no limit
The argparse format is more accurate, but also less practical, especially for long variable names.
