Allows any arguments to be given without a dash (./program w x)

"--" A double dash at the beginning of opt_complementary means the
argv[1] string should always be treated as options, even if it isn't
prefixed with a "-". This is useful for special syntax in applets
such as "ar" and "tar":
tar xvf foo.tar

"-N" A dash as the first char in a opt_complementary group followed
by a single digit (0-9) means that at least N non-option
arguments must be present on the command line
