Here's another one to add to the list:

Similar to you I'm pretty sure there's glaring issues I haven't
seen/fixed yet.
Since it'll be *a while* until I get documentation written,
features written, and bugs fixed, the points of interests (or
detest :) ) over other libraries would be:
* I'm trying to make all the building blocks reusable, so even if
the user doesn't like my particular style, they'll still have the
tools to easily make their own version.
* Building blocks include: A dodgy pull parser for arguments; A
builder class for help text, currently with two built-in content
providers (which means the user can also make their own); An
ArgBinder helper, which can be used to create user-defined
argument binder without any boilerplate outside of simply making
the binder; And while there's only a few right now, I'm wanting
to add a bunch of utility functions similar to scriptlike.
The ArgBinder is probably the only fully interesting part tbh
(more for how it's used, rather than how it's implemented), full
documentation is in it's doc comment (binder.d).
