Thanks for your suggested enhancement to the cmd module. cmd has been around a *long* time and, unfortunately, has received very little maintenance or enhancement attention for many years. In the meantime, third-party replacements for cmd have arisen. One of the most popular is cmd2, available from PyPI, which has also been around a long time and appears to be actively maintained. In particular, it looks like cmd2 already offers robust parsing of arguments. While enhancing the standard library cmd module sounds like it might be a good idea, in this particular case, you and other potential users of cmd might be better off using cmd2. In any case, unless a core developer is interested in shepherding this change, your proposed change is likely to languish.
