Problem with specifying regex for ack -g #360

I personally find this to be a non-issue, as using = to connect option and value isn't valid for short options.

@petdance Thoughts? (see my commentary after the link)

@hoelzro Definitely agree that = with single hyphen is not standard usage. The fact that a single character option works with a double hyphen seems to be an "unintentional feature" but nothing about that suggests to me that therefore the = semantics needs to bleed over into the single hyphen case.
