A while ago, Greg Ward proposed to add his all-singing-all-dancing option parse, Optik, to the standard library. He's just released version 1.3 and thinks it's ready. According to Greg, the getopt-sig likes Optik.

This seems just the kind of thing to add to 2.3 without causing complaints about the rate of language change from the user base.

Anyone disagree?
