parseopt: add OPT_NUMBER_CALLBACK

Add a way to recognize numerical options.  The number is passed to
a callback function as a string.

@@ -170,6 +170,14 @@ There are some macros to easily define options:
 `OPT_ARGUMENT(long, description)`::
 	Introduce a long-option argument that will be kept in `argv[]`.
 
+`OPT_NUMBER_CALLBACK(&var, description, func_ptr)`::
+	Recognize numerical options like -123 and feed the integer as
+	if it was an argument to the function given by `func_ptr`.
+	The result will be put into `var`.  There can be only one such
+	option definition.  It cannot be negated and it takes no
+	arguments.  Short options that happen to be digits take
+	precedence over it.
+
 
 The last element of the array must be `OPT_END()`.
