I've tried four times now to couch my dislike of that terribly witten class but bad code deserves to have it's bad codeness pointed out. It's clearly a C++ programmers terrible attempt at Ruby. It's like that code raped my dog and now wants to take my cat on a weekend getaway. It's bad; really, really bad. It would be really bad form to complain about such bad code and not fix it so I'm working on my very own replacement I hope to present the Ruby team with (fat chance they'll accept it but it's good practice). I haven't released my option parser yet but you can download my fix to the existing OptionParser class, that allows required switches, by installing my pickled_optparse gem: gem install pickled_optparse I should have my cli switch class out by the end of the month (nov 2010). Thanks for the great motivation to do something useful! I have to say I was really surprised to see the horrible quality of code in the optparse.rb class.
