I looked into adding support for processing arguments in command line
(run-time) order. However, processing arguments in the compile-time specified
order (getopt function call order) appears fairly baked into the design. My
personal assessment is that it would be a fair undertaking. If this such an
effort was done, it might be better to do it as part of a new version of getopt
that was improved in other dimensions as well.

For my own code I created a wrapper over getopt that processes arguments in
command line order. It works fine most of the time, but is more brittle/hacky
than appropriate for phobos. The wrapper is here:
