Some convenience mechanism might, but this one's broken.  If you want to come
up with one, remember that:

    * order matters (opt_ methods may require being run in order)
    * you can pass sub-commands
    * there are boolean options as well as keyword args
    * it would probably be nice to be able to use single-letter options too
