[...] Well, I wrote this package because I don't like to work with Console_Getopt. Other people might like it, but I always end up parsing the args myself, using the same boring lines of code, and that's too bad because PHP from the CLI is really cool !

exactly, Getopt is ok for what it does, but if you want more control over your parameters you have to do it on your own and I don't believe, that expanding Getopt is a suitable solution, as it is its approach to handling and defining parameters that lacks a certain sophistication. I've written a small shell-script to fetch data, inserting them into a database and parsing the parameters takes about a third of the code (including comments), so I can clearly see a need for a flexible parameter-parsing system beyond Getopt.
