(I read patch 4 before this one)

Being able to modify the context within a callback is nice. Having to
know if the option is short or long and and checking for validity seems
like something that should be handled within the parse options library
itself.

Is there an actual use case where someone needs to completely override
get_value()? If you move this into the case statement then we get the
generic error checking of get_value() with the benefits of being able to
modify the context within a callback. We could also probably use the
return value of the low level callback to indicate whether or not to
take some action after parsing the option. Perhaps something like
quiting the option parsing loop when encountering such an option?

This reminds me, we can probably simplify that "takes no value" error
path in get_value() (see below).

Don't forget to document what this option does in the comments of this
file and in api-parse-options.txt

I hope this isn't necessary.

Hope this pasted ok.
