Others: rephrase getopt

The linked criticism to getopt only applies to the legacy stuff, which has no long arg support to start with.

Thank you for the PR, I could merge it right away, but it would be even better if you could include some kind of reference that would support the non-standard claim. Do you have something fitting in your sleeve?

I think the FreeBSD getopt(1) manpage would be the place. The BSD people always document the history and standards (if any) well. I might not do this immediately though, since I am too tired right now to type more code on a phone… (and my laptop screen is dead)
