[issue8979] OptParse __getitem__

[Bryan Ward]

New submission from Bryan Ward <bward1 at gmail.com>:

It would be convenient to be able to access the resultant options from optparse using the syntax

options['some_option']

instead of options.some_option

Or additionally it would be nice to have a way to produce a dictionary of the options.  This would be nice to have to do something to the effect of

dictOptions = options.to_dict()

obj = SomeObject(**dictOptions)
