Functions for enabling GNU-style command-line options. GNU-style options are characterized by a single dash (-) before single character option flags and a double dash (--) before multiple character option flags.

By convention, gnu style options flags must begin with a letter; if numbers were allowed option flags would be ambiguous with negative option values.
