Main features and goals:

2. This module is for plain Lua
3. No extra dependencies
4. No hooks, no functional tricks ;-)
5. Support for long options, e.g. compatibility with getopt_long(3) C function present in *BSD and GNU libc.
6. Long options may optionally have one-char synonym or other long synonym
7. Strict error checking (checks for an incorrect use of options)
