It would be nice if std.getopt would throw something like an UnknownOptionException rather than the very nondescript Exception it does now. As it is now, it's hard to tell harmless "user errors" from serious internal errors. Also, having to use string matching to find out which it is isn't so nice.

It's already fixed in git phobos master, there's a GetOptException now. Still have to do string comparison to find out what happened (required option missing vs. unrecognized option). Oh well.

I think this is a worthwhile enhancement request. Reopening.

Not quite, there is still a raw enforce in handleOption (https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/getopt.d#L703)
