Contrary to the default form (non sticked arguments and short options), this can be parsed unambiguously when using options with optional arguments : - in the non sticked form, when an option is taking an optional argument you cannot know if the next argument is its optional argument, or the next option. - the long options form allows to differenciate between an empty argument '--option=' and an unset argument '--option', which is not possible with short options.
