You mean in HEAD too? I don't agree with that, for sure. What this
patch is accomplishing is to make sure that the less-commonly-used
programs have similar command-line-parsing behavior to psql and pg_dump,
where we long ago realized that failure to check this carefully could
result in very confusing behavior. (Especially on machines where
getopt is willing to rearrange the command line.)
I agree with Andrew that this is a bug fix. I can see the argument
for not applying it to back branches, but not for declaring that it's
not a bug.
