GLD has a couple -conceptually similar- features that allow passing "option specifiers" that are "decorative" only.
Obviously, these aren't really options and hence won't end up being passed along to Getop::Long.
Instead, their sole purpose is to enable requesting for some "more stuff" to happen at a specific place in the sequence, in this case related to the generated HelpText.
Below are the two cuurent GLD features (with names I made up, for now) along with a related quote from its docs:
spacer:
... will have no effect other than causing a blank line to appear in the usage message.
textOnly :
... will be printed in the usage message with no other effect.
Of course, GLD has those signaled in ways specific to its array-oriented API; but we could easily come up with a couple analogous GLM conventions that will create the least suprise for GLD users.
