That makes sense. For what it's worth, the use-case that inspired this was for commands with a lot of optional arguments in a company where a large amount of contributors (who may not be aware of an effort to order the arguments in the source code) were able to make changes to the command.

I understand that isn't a particularly compelling reason though, as it can be addressed by other means -- increasing diligence at the code review stage, commit hooks, testing, etc.

Thanks for taking a look Raymond.
