I wondered about that, after looking at the compile-time regex

Looking at the git example [1], it seems a bit complicated and
verbose to use after parsing. To determine which arguments was

While that is true, I'd argue that if you are writing an app with
a command line that complicated, then you have your work cut out
for you no matter what the system is you use.
