Add the getopt for muliple `-o`'s to become a list

[drewc]

ie:

> (begin
 (import :drewc/fuse/getopt)
 (def go (getopt (option 'fuse-opts "-o")
         (argument '<mountpoint> help: "The directory to mount")))
 (def args ["-o" "allow_other" "-o" "foo" "/tmp/gfuse-test"])
 (def go-args (getopt-parse go args))
 (table->list go-args))

=> ((fuse-opts "allow_other" "foo")
    (<mountpoint> . "/tmp/gfuse-test"))

I welcome this feature, but it should be a new kind of list-option or some such, not a backward incompatible change in the existing option.

Makes sense to me. list-option it is, will come shortly.

Thinking more about it, I don't like the name list-option. I prefer something like repeatable-option in this case, by contrast with say an option followed by a string parsed as a comma-separated list of keywords and/or keyword=value bindings, as commonly seen in many Unix utilities.

While we're discussing getopt—I would like to modify how the help work and/or make the display more configurable. In particular I don't like that it display : after the name of sub-commands, or two spaces between the command name and the <command> command-arg ... thing. Maybe we should also add command aliases like option aliases.

go for it!
