## [ops,nread] = read_options (args,...) - Read options
##
## INPUT -------------
## args     : list   : Options and values
##
## OPTIONS -------
## 'op0'    , string : Space-separated names of opt taking no argument  <''>
## 'op1'    , string : Space-separated names of opt taking one argument <''>
## 'default', struct : Struct holding default option values           <none>
## 'prefix' , int    : If false, only accept whole opt names. Otherwise, <0>
##                     recognize opt from first chars, and choose 
##                     shortest if many opts start alike.
## 'nocase' , int    : If set, ignore case in option names               <0>
## 'quiet'  , int    : Behavior when a non-string or unknown opt is met  <0>
##              0    - Produce an error
##              1    - Return quietly (can be diagnosed by checking 'nread')
## 'skipnan', int    : Ignore NaNs if there is a default value.
##     Note : At least one of 'op0' or 'op1' should be specified.
## 
## OUTPUT ------------
## ops      : struct : Struct whose key/values are option names/values
## nread    : int    : Number of elements of args that were read
##
## USAGE -------------
