It's not necessary that the implementation is retained, only that the interface is preserved. So if you can come up with an implementation that supports all optparse applications, and adds the additional features, your implementation could replace the current optparse. If you need to make incompatible changes, it would be best if you could produce a list of such changes, so that optparse users can review them to find out whether they are affected.
