* Two alternative notations for long options with arguments: `--option value` and `--option=value`

* Collapsed short options (e.g. `-abc` instead of `-a -b -c`), also with an argument for the last option 

    (e.g. `-ab 1` instead of `-a -b 1`)

* Two alternative notations for short options with arguments: `-o value` and `-ovalue`

* Quoted arguments (e.g. `--path "/some path/with spaces"`) for string processing

* Options with multiple arguments (e.g. `--domain example.org --domain example.com`)
