     (define (test1 . args)
       (getopt-long  args
         `((test (value #t)
                 (predicate ,(lambda (x) (string-match "^[0-9]+$" x)))))))

     (test1 "foo" "bar")

        [error] option predicate failed: test              !!! HUH !!!

     Huh! It looks like that presence of `predicate' implies that
   argument is required. I have not studied (ice-9 getopt-long) module
   sources but this strange behaviour is not documented (not even
   expected :-)

actually this looks ok to me -- `test' is specified w/ `(value #t)',
meaning that it is invalid to not have an associated argument.  the
error message could be more clear, however (something along the lines of
"missing argument: test").
