\code{'-}\code{-'} characters should not be included in the option
name. Long options which require an argument should be followed by an
! equal sign (\character{=}). To accept only long options,
! \var{options} should be an empty string. Long options on the command
! line can be recognized so long as they provide a prefix of the option
! name that matches exactly one of the accepted options. For example,
! it \var{long_options} is \code{['foo', 'frob']}, the option
! \longprogramopt{fo} will match as \longprogramopt{foo}, but
! \longprogramopt{f} will not match uniquely, so \exception{GetoptError}
! will be raised.
