Bash's getopts is really frustrating to work with, so I made a helper that simplifies it to just a line or two

What are some alternatives?
When comparing jetopt and shflags you can also consider the following projects:
getoptions - An elegant option/argument parser for shell scripts (full support for bash and all POSIX shells)
bash-argsparse - An high level argument parsing library for bash
argbash - Bash argument parsing code generator
docopts - Shell interpreter for docopt, the command-line interface description language.
sh_libpath - Making shell scripts more robust with libraries
bash_opts - SImple Bash options parser
