I think such an issue would need to be a meta-issue because it is a very large task (involving many patches) and may never be truly finished.

Sure, I should be able to get to it within a day or two.  (By the way, after this is committed, the use of a Namespace return value can be phased in gradually as a replacement for some options in the getopt for loop.  It need not be all or nothing.)
