I claim then that Andrei misdirected me by asking about C command line
parsing. Also having a name other than getopt for the D thing would
avoid these sort of misunderstandings. Whoever wrote the D CLP chose a
poor label for it in my view.

I would still prefer a data-oriented rather than opinion-oriented
discussion of Python argparse vs. D getopt if there is to be a compare
and contract debate.
