Hm, how that? get_opt_value() doesn't stop at '=', so shouldn't you get
a single option @firstname with a value of "foo,more=42"?

     name        value
     -----------------------
     @firstname  "foo,more=42"

Here get_opt_name() stops at the first comma. You get a positive flag
"foo" and the remaing option string starts with a comma, so the
condition will still be true for the next loop iteration. Now you get a
positive flag with an empty name "". Finally, the rest is parsed as an
option, so we get:

     name        value
     -----------------------
     "foo"       "on"
     ""          "on"
     "more"      "42"

Actually, at this point I thought I could just check, and gdb confirms
my reading for both cases.

This is still crazy, but perhaps less so than the interpretations you
suggested.
