Remarks
This is generally used for debugging and reporting errors to the user so that the actual full text of an invalid option is available to aid in clarity for the user.
For a switch/option the full text of the value includes the leading switch, the name of the option any value separator and the value. For positional arguments it includes the full string (without the outermost quotes, if any, to allow spaces, etc.. in the value).
