I see strong points on both sides. Maybe it would be a good thing to really have two versions with the second one ("getOpts") getting the options in arrays (as introduced above). Like that the "simple" version we have now could, besides some minor corrections, stay like it is and not disturb existing programs using it. The second version would be the "bigger" one with help, valid ranges, eval funcs, and other goodies as identified by a crowd discussed wish list (and "auto help print" controlled e.g. by a flag).
