Re: New library: argparse, for parsing CLI arguments

It's been around for some time already so please take a look and provide your feedback if you haven't done so. The reasoning to create one more CLI parsing library is that the existing libraries do not provide enough flexibility in parsing that I'm looking for and/or they depend on other libraries. As a result `argparse` supports wide variety of data types including enums, callbacks and arrays as well as a fully customized argument parsing. It also doesn't depend on anything besides the standard library. Since it's in active development (activeness depends on my availability of course), I have few things to do before making the first major release so stay tuned and/or contribute if you'd like to. Very interesting! I was looking for something similar recently, will definitely give it a try! One thing that it'd be interested to see would be subcommand support. Check what DUB is doing for example.
Beerconf October 2021
# BEERCONF! Just one month to go before the next [dconf online](http://dconf.org/2021/online/index.html), I hope everyone is excited! In the meantime, we will once again get together online to discuss all things D, and sample some tasty beverages. This month, it falls on October 30-31. If you need a costume for Sunday, I suggest a nice [T-shirt](https://www.zazzle.com/store/dlang_swag/products?cg=196874696466206954). ## What is beerconf? Check out the [wiki article](https://wiki.dlang.org/Beerconf). There are also rumors going around that we will have a [beetconf](https://forum.dlang.org/post/nybetrqnutwjysyni...@forum.dlang.org). This is totally unfounded fake news. But beefconf is [real](https://mobile.twitter.com/CDNBeefConf). ## Presentations? Will Stefan make it 3 in a row? Will we have some other contenders? If you want to reserve some time, send me an email, ping me on discord or slack. Let me know what you want to talk about and when you can talk. See you in 2 weeks! 🍺 -Steve

So really, you are likely to have this `Params` struct be distinctly for parameter parsing. It's OK to have requirements such as expecting all items to be serialized by default and in a default way. Structs without UDA are now supported starting version `0.4.0`. I also added this use case as a basic into "Getting started" section in readme. OMG this looks awesome! I will switch my code to using it... Prepare for some PRs, I already see ways to make this better ;) -Steve

I mean we both use stb_vorbis and many other stuff translated by ketmar by hand to (Alice)D ; not everyone is at his level to do it well. How would importC help the bindBC project? I guess for small libraries you would be able to just embed the file instead of creating bindings. I also assume that ImportC would eat pre-declarations but not sure.
