 OptionParser provides several methods to help you out:
 
 ``disable_interspersed_args()``
-  Set parsing to stop on the first non-option. Use this if you have a
-  command processor which runs another command which has options of
-  its own and you want to make sure these options don't get
-  confused. For example, each command might have a different
-  set of options.
+  Set parsing to stop on the first non-option.  For example, if ``"-a"`` and
+  ``"-b"`` are both simple options that take no arguments, :mod:`optparse`
+  normally accepts this syntax::
+
+     prog -a arg1 -b arg2
+
+  and treats it as equivalent to  ::
+
+     prog -a -b arg1 arg2
+
+  To disable this feature, call ``disable_interspersed_args()``.  This restores
+  traditional Unix syntax, where option parsing stops with the first non-option
+  argument.

 ``enable_interspersed_args()``
-  Set parsing to not stop on the first non-option, allowing
-  interspersing switches with command arguments.  For example,
-  ``"-s arg1 --long arg2"`` would return ``["arg1", "arg2"]``
-  as the command arguments and ``-s, --long`` as options.
