Hi all,

Would it ever make sense to change the whole -argumentname: command line argument style? For instance, replace it with the standard argument handling provided by Python[0] or (GNU) getopt[1]. As every style change, this may just be me, but I can still list a couple of reasons to do this:

- Standard command line arguments - Offload the argument parsing code to tried and true libraries

Maybe in the rewrite branch?
