           Summary: std.getopt RangeError on missing arg
           Product: D
           Version: 2.030
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: unknown@simplemachines.org


Currently, using std.getopt will result in a RangeError if parameters are improperly omitted on the command line.  Since this is a reasonable user-error, it does not seem like something to crash on during release.

The problem is here:

            if (!isDelegateWithLessThanTwoParameters && !val && !incremental) {
                // eat the next argument too
                val = args[i];
                args = args[0 .. i] ~ args[i + 1 .. $];
            }

It just needs a check to see if args.length is high enough for this to happen. And the documentation should note the exception it throws; currently it says only a ConvError is thrown.

I know I need to suppress the last couple lines of bugzilla posts with the Configure and why the mail is being received parts.  How that part is generated changed a lot between the old and new versions of bugzilla so it'll take me a tad more work to fix that up.  This part:
