I'm not a getopt supporter per se - I'm +1 for argparse - but Opster provides
some nice syntax sugar on top of getopt, and can be seen here:

I've contacted Steven about a similar approach for argparse, and we're waiting
for Yuvgoog's work on argparse(func) to be done to see if there's a feasible
similar approach.
