 *              with standard getopts, although it provides many more
 *              features even than the standard GNU implementation.
 *
 *              The precise manner of options parsing is determined by
 *              various flag settings, which are described below.  By setting
 *              flag values appropriately, you can achieve behaviour very
 *              similar to most other getopt routines.
 *
 *
 *          How options parsing appears to users
 *
 *              A command line consists of a number of `words' (which may
 *              contain spaces, according to various shell quoting
 *              conventions).  A word may be an option, an argument to an
 *              option, or a non-option.  An option begins with a special
 *              character, usually `%|-|%', although `%|+|%' is also used
 *              sometimes.  As special exceptions, the word containing only a
 *              `%|-|%' is considered to be a non-option, since it usually
 *              represents standard input or output as a filename, and the
 *              word containing a double-dash `%|--|%' is used to mark all
 *              following words as being non-options regardless of their
 *              initial character.
 *
 *              Traditionally, all words after the first non-option have been
 *              considered to be non-options automatically, so that options
 *              must be specified before filenames.  However, this
 *              implementation can extract all the options from the command
 *              line regardless of their position.  This can usually be
 *              disabled by setting one of the environment variables
 *              `%|POSIXLY_CORRECT|%' or `%|_POSIX_OPTION_ORDER|%'.
 *
 *              There are two different styles of options: `short' and
 *              `long'.
 *
 *              Short options are the sort which Unix has known for ages: an
 *              option is a single letter, preceded by a `%|-|%'.  Short
 *              options can be joined together to save space (and possibly to
 *              make silly words): e.g., instead of giving options
 *              `%|-x -y|%', a user could write `%|-xy|%'.  Some short
 *              options can have arguments, which appear after the option
 *              letter, either immediately following, or in the next `word'
 *              (so an option with an argument could be written as
 *              `%|-o foo|%' or as `%|-ofoo|%').  Note that options with
 *              optional arguments must be written in the second style.
 *
 *              When a short option controls a flag setting, it is sometimes
 *              possible to explicitly turn the flag off, as well as turning
 *              it on, (usually to override default options).  This is
 *              usually done by using a `%|+|%' instead of a `%|-|%' to
 *              introduce the option.
 *
 *              Long options, as popularised by the GNU utilities, are given
 *              long-ish memorable names, preceded by a double-dash `%|--|%'.
 *              Since their names are more than a single character, long
 *              options can't be combined in the same way as short options.
 *              Arguments to long options may be given either in the same
 *              `word', separated from the option name by an equals sign, or
 *              in the following `word'.
 *
 *              Long option names can be abbreviated if necessary, as long
 *              as the abbreviation is unique.  This means that options can
 *              have sensible and memorable names but still not require much
 *              typing from an experienced user.
 *
 *              Like short options, long options can control flag settings.
 *              The options to manipulate these settings come in pairs: an
 *              option of the form `%|--set-flag|%' might set the flag, while
 *              an option of the form `%|--no-set-flag|%' might clear it.
 *
 *              It is usual for applications to provide both short and long
 *              options with identical behaviour.  Some applications with
 *              lots of options may only provide long options (although they
 *              will often be only two or three characters long).  In this
 *              case, long options can be preceded with a single `%|-|%'
 *              character, and negated by a `%|+|%' character.
 *
 *              Finally, some (older) programs accept arguments of the form
 *              `%%@.{"-"<number>}%%', to set some numerical parameter,
 *              typically a line count of some kind.
 *
 *
 *          How programs parse options
 *
 *              An application parses its options by calling mdwopt
 *              repeatedly.  Each time it is called, mdwopt returns a value
 *              describing the option just read, and stores information about
 *              the option in a data block.  The value %$-1$% is returned
 *              when there are no more options to be read.  The `%|?|%'
 *              character is returned when an error is encountered.
 *
 *              Before starting to parse options, the value @data->ind@ must
 *              be set to 0 or 1. The value of @data->err@ can also be set,
 *              to choose whether errors are reported by mdwopt.
 *
 *              The program's `@argc@' and `@argv@' arguments are passed to
 *              the options parser, so that it can read the command line.  A
 *              flags word is also passed, allowing the program fine control
 *              over parsing.  The flags are described above.
 *
 *              Short options are described by a string, which once upon a
 *              time just contained the permitted option characters.  Now the
 *              options string begins with a collection of flag characters,
 *              and various flag characters can be put after options
 *              characters to change their properties.
 *
 *              If the first character of the short options string is
 *              `%|+|%', `%|-|%' or `%|!|%', the order in which options are
 *              read is modified, as follows:
 *
 *              `%|+|%' forces the POSIX order to be used. As soon as a non-
 *                      option is found, mdwopt returns %$-1$%.
 *
 *              `%|-|%' makes mdwopt treat non-options as being `special'
 *                      sorts of option. When a non-option word is found, the
 *                      value 0 is returned, and the actual text of the word
 *                      is stored as being the option's argument.
 *
 *              `%|!|%' forces the default order to be used.  The entire
 *                      command line is scanned for options, which are
 *                      returned in order.  However, during this process,
 *                      the options are moved in the @argv@ array, so that
 *                      they appear before the non- options.
 *
 *              A `%|:|%' character may be placed after the ordering flag (or
 *              at the very beginning if no ordering flag is given) which
 *              indicates that the character `%|:|%', rather than `%|?|%',
 *              should be returned if a missing argument error is detected.
 *
 *              Each option in the string can be followed by a `%|+|%' sign,
 *              indicating that it can be negated, a `%|:|%' sign indicating
 *              that it requires an argument, or a `%|::|%' string,
 *              indicating an optional argument.  Both `%|+|%' and `%|:|%' or
 *              `%|::|%' may be given, although the `%|+|%' must come first.
 *
 *              If an option is found, the option character is returned to
 *              the caller.  A pointer to an argument is stored in
 *              @data->arg@, or @NULL@ is stored if there was no argument.
 *              If a negated option was found, the option character is
 *              returned ORred with @gFlag_negated@ (bit 8 set).
 *
 *              Long options are described in a table.  Each entry in the
 *              table is of type @struct option@, and the table is terminated
 *              by an entry whose @name@ field is null.  Each option has
 *              a flags word which, due to historical reasons, is called
 *              @has_arg@.  This describes various properties of the option,
 *              such as what sort of argument it takes, and whether it can
 *              be negated.
 *
 *              When mdwopt finds a long option, it looks the name up in the
 *              table. The index of the matching entry is stored in the
 *              @longind@ variable, passed to mdwopt (unless @longind@ is 0):
 *              a value of %$-1$% indicates that no long option was
 *              found. The behaviour is then dependent on the values in the
 *              table entry.  If @flag@ is nonzero, it points to an integer
 *              to be modified by mdwopt.  Usually the value in the @val@
 *              field is simply stored in the @flag@ variable. If the flag
 *              @gFlag_switch@ is set, however, the value is combined with
 *              the existing value of the flags using a bitwise OR.  If
 *              @gFlag_negate@ is set, then the flag bit will be cleared if a
 *              matching negated long option is found.  The value 0 is
 *              returned.
 *
 *              If @flag@ is zero, the value in @val@ is returned by mdwopt,
 *              possibly with bit 8 set if the option was negated.
 *
 *              Arguments for long options are stored in @data->arg@, as
 *              before.
 *
 *              Numeric options, if enabled, cause the value `%|#|%' to be
 *              returned, and the numeric value to be stored in @data->opt@.
 *
 *              If the flag @gFlag_envVar@ is set on entry, options will be
 *              extracted from an environment variable whose name is built by
 *              capitalising all the letters of the program's name.  (This
 *              allows a user to have different default settings for a
 *              program, by calling it through different symbolic links.)  */
