If that's a real life example, then it does not follow the standard on  
Windows platform (as that's an *.exe), which is to use a slash prefix for  
parameters.

One nice feature of a command line parser I believe, is to allow to be  
close to the platform standard. There's already too much inconsistencies  
with too many applications not following any common standard. In return,  
this make the command line interaction more intuitive and straight away.

That's just a personal opinion.
