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 fo=
r  =

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.
