6e887bb05f SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvement
A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a
case that used only short options or long options but not both.
He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma,
The appropriate pattern is an equality check.

Revised the example to point him in the right direction.

Backport candidate.

293f77af6f Add note about the version in which GetoptError was added -- this can
bite people interested in 1.5.2 compatibility.

45b1d6a831 Explain that long options are matched based on a unique prefix rather than
requiring the whole option to be typed out.

This closes SF bug #126863.

a8e484c8f5 getopt(): revise description of long_options parameter slightly so it will
be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
	the options and long_options parameters don't have references that
	are easily misinterpreted.

Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.

Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.

1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
