[issue4640] optparse doesn't distinguish between '--option' and '-option'

Oh, we all focused on “-debug is not recognized as --debug” and forgot that the bug report also said “optparse does not complain when -debug is specified” (not sure if that meant “added” or “given on the command line”). We have to check if the bug still applies on 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 and 3.2.

----------
stage: committed/rejected -> unit test needed
title: optparse - dosn't distinguish between '--option' and '-option' -> optparse doesn't distinguish between '--option' and '-option'
