Is there a recommended alternative to getopts?
Yeah, now that I look at it a bit closer, it is quirky. Not unmanageable, but I think I prefer something like Argparse which generates the parsing code for you using a simpler language.

Argbash – Bash Argument Parsing Code Generator
Huh, it uses M4 to build its DSL, how quaint.
I wish there were more projects on the other side of the spectrum: take the script's self-reported usage string, à la docopt [0], and derive argument-parsing code from that. After all, we have GPT-4 now.
