Indeed, D's getopt is almost nothing like C's getopt aside from 
the name - it is a from-scratch implementation more inspired by 
Perl than by C.

from the docs:

"Credits

This module and its documentation are inspired by Perl's 
Getopt::Long module. The syntax of D's getopt is simpler than its 
Perl counterpart because getopt infers the expected parameter 
types from the static types of the passed-in pointers."
