Last time I tried (about a year or so ago) I was frustrated with how
rigid and strange it was.
In the end I just rolled back to some hacks like to!int(args[1]) and so

std.getopt implements simple and widely used command-line options. If
you used to!int(args[1]) that's not an option, it's a straight argument
that getopt will let pass through unchanged.
Well that bit about to!int(args[1]) was somewhat tongue in cheek, I
can't recall the details now anyway.
To sum up my experience I tried to for a few hours, it didn't quite work
the way I wanted (nor I've found a way to tweak it through) so I dropped
it.
If you ever hit that again, please bugzillize.
Looking at it now I think the key feature missing is automatic
generation of the summary of switches. std.getopt loses a lot of charm
by not automating this part of the job (maintained by hand the summary
would get out of sync sooner or later).
Agreed, we need to add that.
