I still think it would be very desirable to tie the short and long
options together. Eg.
options = [('verbose', 'v'),
('quiet', 'q'),
('thingy', None),
(None, 'x')
('output=', 'o:')]
opts, args = getopt_or_die (options, usage, ...)
Then opts would have possible keys 'verbose', 'quiet', 'thingy', 'x',
and 'value' -- never 'v', 'q', or 'o'
(Look, I restrained my tendency to invent type systems and auto-generate
help text. There may be hope for me yet.)
