 This builtin simplifies the parsing of options in positional parameters,
 i.e. the set of arguments given by tt($*).  Each var(spec) describes one
 option and must be of the form `var(opt)[tt(=)var(array)]'.  If an option
 described by var(opt) is found in the positional parameters it is copied
 into the var(array) specified with the tt(-a) option; if the optional
-`tt(=)var(array)' is given, it is instead copied into that array.
+`tt(=)var(array)' is given, it is instead copied into that array, which
+should be declared as a normal array and never as an associative array.
 
 Note that it is an error to give any var(spec) without an
 `tt(=)var(array)' unless one of the tt(-a) or tt(-A) options is used.
