^ thoughts?

I think it is a nice idea, and I saw it already in unravel iirc...

I'd be interested to see an outline of what it might actually look like.

Ok found where I have seen it: https://github.com/Unrepl/unravel/commit/350cfe131b0a43d0d24c5e924075805ed7e0aeab

Having said that, they probably have moved to using something else (not good enough?)

Well... a) that was very simple argument parsing in the first place b) the spec code was a lot more complex than the code it replaced c) they've gone back to a specific recursive custom parser for their arguments... definitely not a convincing argument for using spec to parse arguments 🙂

@richiardiandrea yes I moved away from using spec for arg parsing because (a) it wasn't easy to read, (b) it wasn't flexible enough and (c) as simple loop actually works really well

@martinklepsch the above should be ready, I bumped what I could bump and I am trying it locally now 😉
