When running the tests with AddressSanitizer enabled, we get:

This is due to an operator precedence mistake in the modified
expression.

    (gdb) p unknown_opt_name
    $2 = 0x7fffffffd870 "e"
    (gdb) p strlen(unknown_opt_name) + 1 + is_short ? 1 : 2
    $3 = 1

The addition is evaluated before the ternary operator, so we end up
choosing between values 1 and 2.  And we always choose 1, because the
result of the addition is always non-zero.

The intent is in fact to add 1 or 2 to `strlen(unknown_opt_name) + 1`,
depending on whether the short option is used.  Add parenthesis around
the ternary to fix it.

Note that clang is cool enough to provide a diagnostic about this:
