It's worth noting that this will have the same effect and involves less
repetitive typing:
parser.add_option("-n", "--name", help="enter a name")
parser.add_option("-u", "--url", help="enter a url")
Discovering this has made optparse usage much more painless for me, and
also reduces the incidence of those nasty multiple line option additions.
Although I should note for the record that I agree with Peter Hansen
that if the arguments are not *optional* then they should not be made
options in this manner.
