Refactor how - and -- are handled
In some circles, using a single -
means that the next character will be a single-character flag and if there are multiple letters, they should be treated like a list of single-character flags. If a double dash is used (--
) then we should consider the following characters all part of a single flag until a space or =
is seen.
Right now, flaggy does not parse differently when it sees a -
or --
. This means that single letter flags can not be grouped up.
For example, this command would be parsed with two flags by some parsers:
docker exec -it
However in flaggy, this would be treated as one long flag named it
.
I propose that we refactor flaggy with the following logic:
- If a single dash (
-
) is used, then we treat every following character as its own flag - if a double dash (
--
) is used, then we treat the following as one long flag name
