    The command line example gave me the "ick". It is usually preferrable to parse the command line arguments into one instance of a custom "command class", rather than into a list of things. Like jcommander, picocli or jbock do.

    Hi there, cool, I didn't hope to get a reply after more than 2 days. If you could test the performance yourself that would be great, I'm not into that stuff. Obviously jbock not 100% picocli compatible, just the annotation names are similar. In fact there are many differences. Some common pitfalls are mentioned here.

    The either library, which has been used for validation purposes in recent jbock releases, has been released independently.

    OptionalMatcher.java would certainly need to be changed, but I'm afraid that's not everything.
