std.getopt is a little clunky, but it is what I would prefer most of the 
time.
They are basically just different ways to do the same exact thing. So 
most of the time it is simply a preference thing.

Thanks for mentioning this, looks to be just what the doctor 
ordered.

Coming in from python I've been disappointed by getopt and 
frustrated by Argon.  This looks like it might fit the bill.  
Meta-names for option arguments ( ex: --index=FILE ) are an 
efficient way to communicate intent to users, nice to see them 
included.

Thanks,

std.getopt always, also since a few weeks i think that a better 
version could be done. The expected options are defined in a 
run-time parameters. This can definitively be some template 
parameters, which would allow complex static checks and more 
optimal code.

Now:

     GetOptResult r = getopt(args, "o|option", &o, "p|param", 
&param);

The future:

     GetOptResult r = getopt!("o|option", o, "p|param", 
param))(args);

I use std.getopt in my tools. Overall it's pretty good, and the 
reliability of a package in the standard library has value. That 
said, I've bumped up against it's limits, and looking at the 
code, it's not clear to how extend it to more advanced use cases. 
There may be a case for introducing a next generation package.
