MATLAB: Interpreting varargin name-value pairs.

varargin

I've been writing a lot of functions lately. I like allowing the user to declare options in my functions using name-value pairs, but I have not found a good clean method of interpreting varargin. Here are two methods I tend to use, but both feel a bit clunky:
% Method 1: 
for k = 1:length(varargin)
    if strcmpi(varargin{k},'fontname')
        fontname = varargin{k+1}; 
        varargin{k+1}=[]; 
        varargin{k}=[];
    end
end
% Method 2: 
nk = 1:length(varargin);
for k = 1:length(varargin)
    if strcmpi(varargin{k},'fontsize')
        fontsize = varargin{k+1}; 
        nk(k:k+1) = [];
    end
end
varargin = varargin(nk);
Is there a better standard procedure for interpreting a list of varargin arguments?

Yes... Use inputParser
