+ "Module to handle parsing command line options")
+ (description "The @code{Getopt::Long} module implements an extended getopt
+function called @code{GetOptions()}. It parses the command line from
+@code{ARGV}, recognizing and removing specified options and their possible
+values.
+
+This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, with GNU
+extensions. In general, this means that options have long names instead of
+single letters, and are introduced with a double dash \"--\". Support for
+bundling of command line options, as was the case with the more traditional
+single-letter approach, is provided but not enabled by default.")
