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,
