Darn, just when I've gotten in the habit of using optparse everywhere, 
along comes this cool thing...

One suggestion: make it possible to apply to an arbitrary array, rather 
than just ARGV (or is this already possible?).

Another suggestion, regarding:

>   		-F <file>...	Process named file(s)
>   					{ defer( proc { file.each {|i| 
>                                                    process(i) } } ) }

it's probably possible to get the syntax to be:

    					{ defer { file.each {|i|
                                                     process(i) } }

just by replacing

def defer(block) ... end

with

def defer(&block) ... end
