This is a simple idea:

W.r.t. help strings, I would prefer if we could instead use:
getopt(args,
"timeout|t", &timeout, "Set the timeout",
"other", &other, // note: no comment!
"flag|f", &flag, "Set the flag")
I think we could make getopt support this. For example:
["foo", &foo] => name, field
["foo", &foo, "foo text"] => name, field, #3 is a comment
["foo", &foo, "foo text", "bar", &bar] => #3 is a commen
["foo", &foo, "foo text", &bar] => #3 is a new name
Essentially all getopt has to do is slice up the arguments into
groups, where an address and the string before it begin a new group.
@Andrei: What do you think?
Sounds great. There's a related bugzilla entry IIRC.
