Hello all, I have been using the getopts module lately and noticed a number of ways I feel the library could be improved. I've looked at the popular / idiomatic methods for parsing POSIX style command line arguments in ~8 different languages to cherry pick what I believe to be the best and most developer friendly aspects. With that being said, I thought I'd put out some feelers and see who is currently using getopts heavily in their projects. My idea right now is to use the getopts:: groups style uniformly, and maybe add some additional sugar to it. Let me know if you have any specific pain points with the existing API, I want to make it a breeze to use! Command line args are usually encountered just after "hello world" when coming to a new language, so it is a good opportunity to showcase the languages strengths.
