Hi
We've found that when using parse_args(..., positional_arguments=FALSE), it
is permissible to invoke our script with either "--myfoo=bar" or "--myfoo
bar"; that is, whether or not the equals sign is present makes no
difference, and in fact both usage forms are demonstrated in the optparse
vignette.
However, we've found that when using parse_args(...,
positional_arguments=TRUE), it is no longer possible to use the equals sign;
that is, "--myfoo=bar" will show up as a positional argument, with "myfoo"
set to its default value instead.
Wondering if this is really the intended behavior? Some of our scripts use
positional arguments and some do not, and we'd like to arrive at a standard
usage across all scripts.
Many thanks,
Ben
