Re: Typo reporting `--hdu=0' (or `-h0')

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Thank you so much for highlighting this!

This was the old GNU style of quoting, you can still see it in the 
output of 'gawk --help' for example.

But after looking into the GNU Coding Standards again, I found the page 
below where they also recommend using apostrophe for both opening and 
closing a quote:

https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Quote-Characters.html

Standrds compliance is very important for me, so I just implemented it 
in the full Gnuastro source:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuastro.git/commit/?id=b9c48d00b5

Thanks again for raising this important point, I am happy it is now 
fixed :-).

Cheers,
Mohammad
