Talk:Parse command-line arguments

Reasons for this article:

• Getopt documentation is often too sparse to be useful
• Different languages have different pattern syntax (think C's "a:b:cd" getopt syntax)
• As with ScriptedMain, this behavior is as useful as it is obscure.
• getopt is not Google-friendly: the results tend to be C programs embedding the language in question.

The phone call example is just a quick example. I think we should define a more useful CLI example for each language.
