Better naming for variables in parse

'''Fancy option parser

Usage:

>>> def serve(dirname, **opts):
...     """this is a do-nothing command
...
...        you can do nothing with this command"""
...     print opts.get('listen'), opts.get('pid_file')
>>> opts = [('l', 'listen', 'localhost',
...          'ip to listen on'),
...         ('p', 'port', 8000,
...          'port to listen on'),
...         ('d', 'daemonize', False,
...          'daemonize process'),
...         ('', 'pid-file', '',
...          'name of file to write process ID to')]
>>> from fancyopts import fancyopts
>>> fancyopts(serve, 'serve [-l HOST] DIR', opts, '--pid-f test dir'.split())
localhost test

You have supplied directory name here and path to file with process id.
Order of options is preserved.
