I like how boost program_options library allows to keep together options and the help strings and automatically generate help message. So I did something similar by writing a wrapper around std.getopt.getopt that automatically generates help/usage message; just would like to share it; may be something like that could be added into std.getopt in future.

here is an example and code: http://www.curoles.com/j/getoptex.html

Beautiful. Thanks Igor. I created this report so I don't forget to add your code:

When I get to it I'll integrate your code and add your name to the authors. I wanted to add such functionality for a long time, but I didn't think it will be this easy. Your solution is very elegant.
