    When passing parameters,
    x:      means that a value should follow x
    y       means that 'y' is a flag, either on or off
    So, the string a:b:def means that we support up to
    5 parameters; two with values and three flags. The following
    should be valid:

    script run parameters.lua -a 1 -blala -c -de

    Notice two things:
    1. 'blala' works just like 'b lala', both set 'b' to 'lala'
    2. Flags can be put together, '-de' is the same as '-d -e'
    3. The format -b=lala is *not* supported
    4. The format b lala (without -) is *not* supported

In the future, we may implement so that scripts are invoked directly
into a 'main' function, instead of being executed blindly. For future
compatibility, I have done so, but I invoke my main from here.
