So your parser uses the argument array from the main() function which is
called by the extern(C) main() from phobos/internal/dmain2.d which is called
from the underlying C runtime which calls the Win32 GetCommandLine() API
function that returns the whole command line in one string.

You should pray that the different C runtime implementations parse the
command line string the same way as the linux shell does. If not, you
could get different results for exotic arguments :)
