Yeah, that's already an "issue" in the current implementation as well,
though there are no such options that require options as argument.

Anyway, I had another crack at turning the current option parsing loop
into a for loop keeping $@ intact, and the results don't look all that
bad this time.  Note that this diff below only does the while -> for
conversion, but leaves the loop where it is, so the changes are easily
visible.  The important bits are the conditions at the beginning of
the loop and after the loop, and the handling of '-r'; the rest is
mostly s/shift// and sort-of s/$1/$opt/.

Thoughts?  Is it better than two loops?  I think it's better.
