please help to make this happen

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Would you like me to
tryout getoptEx?
yes please test it
Okay, I replaced the std.getopt that came with dmd with your
version. My code compiles, but of course it doesn't link
against the old libphobos.so. I'm a complete newbe to D and
am not ready to build a new version of libphobos.so, that's
for the library maintainers to do, which is not a job I'm ready
to sign up for yet. Right now I'm just trying to get my own
project done, and so far D's standard library is being a HUGE
impediment. It's like programming against bare glibc all over
again when I hoped it would be a little more like the Python
standard libary.
Just being a random developer my opinon isn't that important
but, for what it's worth, I think an expanded option handling
feature should be implemented in a separate module. That way
users can try it out without affecting their existing libphobos.
I like your enthusiasm. If you have any modules that don't
require me to rebuild libphobos, I'll be happy to give them a
whirl. Thank's for responding to my inquiry.
