I strongly prefer OptionParser, because that's the main class; it's the
one that's always used (ie. directly instantiated).  There are always
instances of Option, OptionValues, and the various exception classes
floating around -- but most Optik applications don't have to import
those names directly.

So in spite of David G.'s -1 on OptionParser, that's what I'm going
with...
