Anyhow. Right now the order of processing is the same as the lexical
order in which flags are passed to getopt. There may be use cases for
which that's the more desirable way to go about things, so if you
author a PR to change the order you'd need to build an argument on why
command-line order is better. FWIW the traditional POSIX doctrine
makes behavior of flags independent of their order, which would imply
the current choice is more natural.
So what about making this configurable?
That'd be great. I'm thinking something like an option
std.getopt.config.commandLineOrder. Must be first option specified right
after arguments. Sounds good?
