ASF GitHub Bot commented on CLI-217: ------------------------------------ GitHub user rubin55 opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/commons-cli/pull/15 CLI-217: Optional partial matching At request of Gary, I (re)created an old patch against the current code base to enable partial matching to be set as optional. This fixes problems for people that have short options that, concatenated, also partial-match a long option. For example: -d, --debug -e, --extract foo -de Is ambiguous in the case that partial matching is enabled. This patch allows a user to turn off partial matching in such a case.
