I use std.getopt in my tools. Overall it's pretty good, and the 
reliability of a package in the standard library has value. That 
said, I've bumped up against it's limits, and looking at the 
code, it's not clear to how extend it to more advanced use cases. 
There may be a case for introducing a next generation package.
