  Description     : A powerful getopt implementation for Raku

The Getopt::Long module implements extended getopt functions called get-
options() and get-options-from, as well as automatic argument parsing
for a MAIN sub.

This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, with
GNU extensions. In general, this means that options have long names
instead of single letters, and are introduced with a double dash "--".
Support for bundling of command line options, as was the case with the
more traditional single-letter approach, is also provided.
