Hi everyone,
I'm happy to announce that I've published a CLI argument parsing library
- [argparse](https://code.dlang.org/packages/argparse). It's been around
for some time already so please take a look and provide your feedback if
you haven't done so.
The reasoning to create one more CLI parsing library is that the
existing libraries do not provide enough flexibility in parsing that I'm
looking for and/or they depend on other libraries. As a result
`argparse` supports wide variety of data types including enums,
callbacks and arrays as well as a fully customized argument parsing. It
also doesn't depend on anything besides the standard library.
Since it's in active development (activeness depends on my availability
of course), I have few things to do before making the first major
release so stay tuned and/or contribute if you'd like to.
I was literally just thinking about how something like this would be
useful yesterday. It's amazing when the universe just listens to me and
provides what I was hoping for!
One nitpick -- you should be able to opt in using the name of the field
member instead of having to write `@NamedArgument`. e.g. your `string
unused` parameter requires a `@NamedArgument("unused")` which seems
unnecessary.
