Well, it's getopt + syntactic sugar galore. If you look at def _fancy_getopt
you'll see I call getopt twice: the first time it's supposed to parse all the
options up to the command name (and it understands only global options). Then
it pops the command name, retrieves its option list, and parse the rest of the
command line. Your recommendation should apply as well.
