Please don't take so much offense. This is just a piece of code that I
felt I needed to write in order to facilitate Getopt::Helpful.
Because I had originally built that as a wrapper around Getopt::Long, I
had a laundry-list of what didn't work. Unsaid are all of the things
about how great G::L is (sorry, I see this as obvious.) I'm not out to
fix what works, only what doesn't.
If I thought that I needed to replace Getopt::Long by getting the rest
of the world to use my module, I would have done things differently but
that was not my goal.
In fact, as I mentioned I would be happy for G::L to have this
functionality, but I doubt that program-order evaluation (one of the
main design goals) is going to fit without some serious restructuring.
Do you have a project page for your recent work? Maybe I could find a
way to work it in if I saw what you had thus far.
