Command line parsers

Hello

In my experience as a c/c++ programmer I've seen a lot of quick and 
dirty, primitive command line parsing implementations. Time and time 
again because they needed something that compiles on both linux(gcc) and 
windows(msvc) and avoid using external libraries.

Even very simple console application often needs some command line parsing.

Could one, simple, implementation be part of phobos, providing portability?

Some references I found:

std.optparse?"
