Matt,
It would be nice when some user types --xxxx-yyyyyy_zzzz and they
meant --xxxx-yyyyyy-zzzz it would give them a nice error message. This
is made difficult by the fact that superlu_dist name as an underscore
in it. Are there other special cases?
Could we have BuildSystem barf with helpful error message whenever
someone puts an _ instead of - except when allowed like superlu_dist?
We semi-regularly waste time with petsc-maint messages of people
who cannot distinguish _ from -
