If you're worried that someone will mind that you've posted code
there, it's fine. Everyone has permission to post code on Wiki4D.

If you're worried that someone who could benefit from the code
wouldn't know that it exists, that's valid concern. And I don't know
what to do about it. There's a lot of D code out there that people
don't seem to know about. You could certainly draw attention to your
code by posting in the announcements newsgroup
(news://news.digitalmars.com/digitalmars.D.announce, web interface:
http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/indexing.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=\
digitalmars.D.announce).
In theory, the tutorials project at dsource
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/tutorials/wiki) would be a good place
to donate stand-alone modules (as well as example code), but sometime
I feel like I'm the only one who uses it. (I don't just add examples,
I also use the example to help myself remember how to do things in D.)
Some other people donated some example when the tutorials were stored
in a database and manipulated with a custom PHP-driven webpage. But
with the new wiki system, I think I'm the only person who has added
any examples (though I have had more help editing the examples than I
had with the PHP-regime).

In short (I'll stop rambling), feel free to add modules as pages in
the tutorial wiki or as pages in Wiki4D. If you want to get more
people to see what you've done, you'd probably need to tell people
about it in the digitalmars.D.announcements newsgroup.

By the way, your CommandLineArguments code looked useful to me (I just
glanced at it). I think it's the kind of thing that could be helpful
to me in some of my little projects. I think I've seen something with
a similar purpose, but it was quite a while ago and that project might
have been abandoned. :)
