Upon contacting him, Igor was kind enough to share the source of his
getoptEx module here:

It's a simple improvement to getopt that adds a descriptive help
string for the program, and for each option adds one or more help
lines.
Could someone work his code into an addition to std.getopt? I'm
thinking of keeping the same name and using overloading. Please
reply to this if you plan to work on this.
Thanks,
I have already done this. Some time ago. I can create a pull request for
his work.
But I didn't like it much (too limited). That's why I wanted to extend
it. But never found the time. getoptEx goes in the direction of
something like gflags but it's still far away from it.

If you could find a way to integrate that work without thwarting
opportunity for future improvements, that would be great.
getopt is not gflags but should be a good backend to a possible
gflags-like utility.
