You can do something like this:
void main(string[] args) {
auto t = ["-s"[]: { writefln("handle argument -s"); },
"-m": { writefln("handle argument -m"); }];
if (auto pcode = args[1] in t) {
(*pcode)();
} else {
//default case
}
}
Even the ugly and unneeded case labels are gone!
If you don't mind your ulta-modern switch-case to allocate memory when
it's used.
If you still don't like it, you can do some ugly mixin() and CTFE stuff.
Nobody will mind because that's modern D style.
