Haven't seen Tango's arguments parser, but it's a given getopt can be improved in any number of ways. Yet the way I see it, with command line parsing, the margin between a good enough argument parser and a terrific one is razor thin. One parses arguments by definition once in every program, and things like checking against limits and constraints across multiple arguments can be easily done after basic parsing.
I don't want this to start a huge argument about Tango versus Phobos. But Tango supports this _now_, out of the box, Phobos doesn't. No need to do any post processing. It's that simple. Again I don't understand why some people having so much trouble that some developers here are using Tango.
