No, it wouldn't.

The main reason why I don't want to use getopt is because the syntax "-o 
output" (short-option, space, argument), and that is the main thing 
I want to do. I think I posted about this in the thread.

Enabling single-dash long option would be nice too.

The fact that it uses global parameters just doesn't help.
