If the specifics of the CLI aren't of much concern at present, I would strongly encourage abstracting this with a library.

Not the right language, but an example of the sort of thing I mean.

It makes stuff like this a lot simpler, including having long and short options, self-describing CLIs, etc.

I guess, though it increases the maintenance burden and makes it easier to miss things like this. I'm sure lightweight libraries exist for this.

Just going to ping this issue since we had a user mention in telegram today that this would be helpful

I'd be interested in implementing this if there's still interest, @KeeJef.

Is there still a firm position against using a lightweight (abstracting) library for this? Got a firm no from @majestrate last time.

In #518, we’re adding a vendored dep on cxxopts, could be extended to do more easily.
