an application writer can just grab this - rather than writing their own.
I think boost/program_options provides this.<br>
<br>
I don't think you need a grammar - although that would be nice - to sync
all projects.<br>

I'm pretty sure the answer to the original question is No. To have
that, we'd need a grammar for parameters, and I don't believe there's one
of those yet either.<br>

There were concerns when we first talked about using Boost libs, but some
important things have changed since then, and it's probably time to revisit
the question.<br>
<br>
I'll carry this part of the discussion to the board.<br>
