Hi, John.
I understand the distaste for "get_XXX". The flip side is the it's a
safe way to name them, as it won't conflict with any of the native
methods now or in the future. I'd hate to break someone's code
because I added a method that conflicts with someone's name for an
option.
Let me give it some thought. One possibility would be to create a
"finalized" options object that you can call only option accessors on,
but none of the other Getopt::Lucid methods.
my $opt = Getopt::Lucid->getopt($spec)->finalized;
say "saw --foo" if $opt->foo;
What do you think about that sort of approach?
