=begin
program:
require 'optparse'

options = {}
OptionParser.new do |opts|
opts.on("-a", "--a_param A", "A") do |a|
options[:a] = a
end
opts.on("-b", "--b_param B", "B") do |b|
options[:b] = b
end
end.parse!

puts options
puts ARGV

When adding ops with mandatory params running
./example.rb -a -b x
options: {:a=>"-b"}
ARGV: x

Result should not be greedy -a with no param should raise an exception just like C getopts
Using optional params instead of mandatory yields correct results.
