CommandLine getArgList() serves no options but args, only

           Summary: CommandLine getArgList() serves no options but args,
                    only
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.0 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: CLI
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kriegstdu@web.de


If i have some options set and want to know if the user specified some options 
which i do not support, i use method getArgList of CommandLine instance to 
retrieve those unsupported or unparsed options.
Javadoc says: <i>Retrieve any left-over non-recognized options and 
arguments.</i>

If i do so, i do get the args of the unparsed options, only.
I do not get the options of that args.
For example:
The following commandline is given:
-u paul -i id1 -i id2 -v -K XXX1 -L XXXXX2 -P
options -K, -L and -P are unknown as the usage shows:
usage: CliExample
 -f,--id-file <id-filename>   filename specifying ids
 -h,--help                    show help
 -i,--id <id>                 id to manipulate
 -u,--user <username>         username to login
 -v,--verbose                 be more verbose

but getArgList shows XXX1 and XXXXX2, only.
There is no way to get the unparsed options -K, -L and -P.
<b>If the user specifies unsupported options without any arguments (as option -
P in this example), there is no chance to find those boolean unsupported 
options.</b>

I suggest to either add two methods:
Option[]getNotRecognizedOptions() and 
List getNotRecognizedOptionList()
or to fix 
getArgList() and getArgs() to perform as Javadoc suggests.
