I'm a thumbs up for it as well, however....it really does need to be wrapped.

We don't want to turn 400+ application front-end source files into cpp files
just for argument processing. It also doesn't make sense from a dependency
tracking perspective to introduce a dependency on every app where we can
introduce it just once in our basic utility library which they all already use.
That's why TCLAP will need to sit behind some minimal libbu API. Semantically,
it can be as minimal and direct pass-through as possible. It just needs to
also pass types where the template was taking care of them automatically or
specify them via separate functions (ala argtable).
Cheers!
