Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] libmakepkg: fix empty arguments in parseopts

When parsing options, is there any case where an empty argument is functionally different from a missing one?

I.e. what is the justification for considering empty arguments? makepkg --config='' --clean ==> ERROR: --clean not found. Aborting...

I think that this isn't correct and makes it less clear than it should be why the error is happening, i.e. the option parsing is incorrect when the options passed should be completely valid to the parser, and only the program itself should consider them incorrect.
