Re: zparseopts varieties

Curious.

The code to handle the argument in the next word is unreachable in the
optional case, and it appears to have been so ever since zparseopts was
invented; or, at least, as long as we've had code in version control.

Also, there's this:

torch% zparseopts -A opts -DE b: c
 ../../zsh-5.0/Src/params.c:2986: BUG: assigning to undeclared associative array

Which actually is probably a case of an over-aggressive DPUTS assertion
(that I added a few months ago) rather than an actual bug.

} Also, double colon (optionality of argument) cannot take array name:

This is intentional: you aren't meant to use an associative array with
the =array form, double colon or not.

torch% typeset -A Mopt
torch% set -- -b -c
torch% zparseopts b=Mopt
zsh: bad set of key/value pairs for associative array

It accidentally works to use the same associative array for an even number
of options, but the results are wrong -- the options alternate as keys
and values:

torch% zparseopts c=Mopt b=Mopt
torch% print -rl -- ${(k)Mopt}
-b
torch% print -rl -- ${(v)Mopt}
-c


I scanned the distributed functions for uses of zparseopts with "::" and
did not find any, so hopefully the following won't break anything.

 This builtin simplifies the parsing of options in positional parameters,
 i.e. the set of arguments given by tt($*).  Each var(spec) describes one
 option and must be of the form `var(opt)[tt(=)var(array)]'.  If an option
 described by var(opt) is found in the positional parameters it is copied
 into the var(array) specified with the tt(-a) option; if the optional
-`tt(=)var(array)' is given, it is instead copied into that array.
+`tt(=)var(array)' is given, it is instead copied into that array, which

 Note that it is an error to give any var(spec) without an
 `tt(=)var(array)' unless one of the tt(-a) or tt(-A) options is used.
