Speak for yourself. I've done it exactly once. It didn't work, and never shipped. Learned my lesson and always use a parser that someone else wrote. Usually a big team of at least thousands of people (how many people have worked on JSON? Millions? What about UTF8? Those are the main two I use).
So you have never iterated over command line arguments and tried to identify options? Or taken a string input field?
