+A Haskell port of GNU's getopt library
+
+Sven Panne <Sven.Panne@informatik.uni-muenchen.de> Oct. 1996 (small
+changes Dec. 1997)
+
+Two rather obscure features are missing: The Bash 2.0 non-option hack
+(if you don't already know it, you probably don't want to hear about
+it...) and the recognition of long options with a single dash
+(e.g. '-help' is recognised as '--help', as long as there is no short
+option 'h').
+
+Other differences between GNU's getopt and this implementation: * To
+enforce a coherent description of options and arguments, there are
+explanation fields in the option/argument descriptor. * Error
+messages are now more informative, but no longer POSIX
+compliant... :-( And a final Haskell advertisement: The GNU C
+implementation uses well over 1100 lines, we need only 195 here,
+including a 46 line example! :-)
