It seems either that Okuji doesn't care or doesn't know yet. I personally prefer argp because it is easy to use, flexible and less work to maintain. And like you said, less code... less code normally means less bugs. So it depends on Okuji what to do. If he doesn't care I would be happy with such a patch. -- Marco
