I know where --locale is interpreted. But I also know that the -m
would get interpreted before it in the first example, and that it
might have made sense to do any conversion there. But if that is
qualified as "real work" and such is not allowed to be done during
option parsing, then I guess I'll just have to rewrite my UTF-8 patch
a little. (Not becase of the log message (which is translated later
anyway), but things like username and password which I translate
directly during the option parsing pass.)
Btw, is creating an error message "real work"? That can happen during
option parsing, requires an UTF-8 conversion, and would be very
awkward to have to defer.
