Anyone who works with Unix/Linux systems knows that, for example, almost none of Unix built-in commands uses brackets embracing any option when help is invoked, unlesss, of course, you are suggesting that Unix/Linux authors don't adhere to standards.

So... which standards are you talking about?

The quote was a bit out of context, it was speaking as to removing help all together or making -h, --help non-functional. You are indeed right about extended help not using brackets and in light of that thinking I'd be in favor of removing that from our cmd_parse() method.
