So that's +1 vote count for argparse I guess?

That's very valuable feedback, thanks.  I would expect a similar
kind of audience running the new kci tool as the LTP ones.

Next step, we can start designing a stable kci syntax this week
with commands and arguments regardless of the implementation
framework.  Then next week we'll recap on this discussion to come
up with a plan that maximises both maintainability and user
adoption in the community.

Thanks,
Guillaume
