+//! Simple getopt alternative.
+//!
+//! Construct a vector of options, either by using `reqopt`, `optopt`, and `optflag`
+//! or by building them from components yourself, and pass them to `getopts`,
+//! along with a vector of actual arguments (not including `argv[0]`). You'll
+//! either get a failure code back, or a match. You'll have to verify whether
+//! the amount of 'free' arguments in the match is what you expect. Use `opt_*`
+//! accessors to get argument values out of the matches object.
+//!
+//! Single-character options are expected to appear on the command line with a
+//! single preceding dash; multiple-character options are expected to be
+//! proceeded by two dashes. Options that expect an argument accept their
+//! argument following either a space or an equals sign. Single-character
+//! options don't require the space.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! The following example shows simple command line parsing for an application
+//! that requires an input file to be specified, accepts an optional output
+//! file name following `-o`, and accepts both `-h` and `--help` as optional flags.
