As far as I know, the difference just happened, and there is point to it.
The style without "=" is older and wasn't followed when new switches were
added.
Consistency between different switches has to be weighed against stability

I think you made it clearer now. And changing it in minor releases will

option and possibly better addressed in a major release.
Also, someone may have already filed an issue about this.
