These days, if I'm trying to do a script that requires more than
one or two positional parameters, I'd probably do it in perl instead
of one of the shells: the syntax is more regular and easier for me
to remember, and Getopt::Long supports option parsing too.

(Not that there isn't a certain artistic merit in well-crafted
shell scripts, it's just something I tend to admire from a distance ;)
