Hello Stefan

Speaking as QtCore's maintainer, I'll reserve the decision until I see your 
proposal. I don't think your development depends on whether you're inside 
QtCore or not, so you should just develop the framework the way you prefer it 
to be and let everyone review when you're ready.

If you do find a compelling reason to be inside QtCore (such as changing the 
QCoreApplication custom parser), it may make the case for it. Note that most 
Qt applications do not use command-line parsing, so the presence of the parser 
should not adversely affect those applications.

PS: if anyone suggests you make it plugin-based or be able to output XML 
documentation, manpages and bash completion, feel free to disregard.
