Previously it could mistakenly match partial names when there are options that start with the same prefix, leading to the wrong references used.

On some systems, the gen.pl script takes nearly two minutes for the generation of the main-page, which is a completely unacceptable time. The slow performance has two causes: 1. Use of a regex locale operator 2. Useless invokations of loops The commit addresses the first issue by replacing the "\W" wiht [^a-zA-Z0-9_], which is, according to regex101.com, functionally equivalent to the previous operation, except that it is obviously limited to ASCII only, which is fine, as the curl project is English-only anyway. The second issue is being addressed by only running the loop if the line contains a "--" in it. The loop may be completeley removed in the future.
