These all look fine and even welcome. > - argparse would not enter the standard library This one doesn't. This is a kind of "you are either with me, or against me" argument. While I would favour improving optparse over including argparse, I don't think we can commit to never include argparse, just because you asked for it. Please note that if you do improve optparse, the bar for including argparse will be much higher anyway. Perhaps people won't even ask for it, seeing that optparse has become sufficient for them.
