That was interesting to read and certainly a different approach to solving a problem, but the biggest question I had in my mind while reading the article was "is it really necessary to create all this complexity --- and how does it compare to the traditional getopt()?"
I've used getopt() many times, even implemented its functionality for fun, and parsing commandline arguments has never been something I thought was particularly difficult or complex.
