Adding type conversion, help text or field validation does not require the underlying parser to be re-implemented. One can use getopt, commons-cli, with-command-line or jopt-simple and add things on top for real added value. That said: I have no opinion about the posted code, because I haven't looked at it, yet. Generally, I would prefer the above approach: use something existing and add functionality on top. But then, I'm also guilty of implementing a cli parser in Clojure myself.
