I see 2 main advantages of genparse:
1. It does a significant part of the work at compile time. So the
generated code can be quite simple and fast.
2. It is able to auto generate a highly configurable usage function.
Many of the replies on my previous posts to the coreutils mailing
list were about the usage function. argp also can print a usage
function but how far can you customize it? Has anybody tried to
convert one of the coreutils tools to use argp? I would be very
interested to see a comparison to the genparse solution.
