Note that the POSIX part is the backward compatibility with normal getopt
(which provides short options). The long options are GNU extensions.

Examples for standard behaviour (both POSIX and GNU):
 * a '-f -l' is equivalent to '-fl' or '-lf'
 * a '-f arg' is equivalent to '-farg'
 * a '--' mark the end of options (e.g: to remove a file named '-f'
   we can use 'rm -- -f')
