Are you serious? Don't allow it? Why? What benefit could that possibly 
provide? It makes perfect sence to think that there may be legitimate reason 
to use a commandline parser on something other than the current process's 
cmd args. Unittesting, for one, just off the top of my head. Other people 
here have mentioned other uses.

It doesn't make any sence at all to arbitrarily prevent a tool from being 
applied to whatever the user chooses to apply it to.

So you want to prevent people from being able to enforce encapsulation of 
that? If they want to make it available, they can trivially do that 
theirself. But you can't go the other way around.
