I am interested in understanding what that means.  Could you describe
in 10-20 lines what it means?  What is the input, what is the output,
and what software does the conversion?

That is not something I can feasibly do -- it would take an hour if
not several hours for me to learn the basic points.  So I hope
you will describe what I need to know in a brief summary.

But I think it would be a nuisance to make this a separate library.
It should be packaged with the support for getopt, and written in C so
we (the GNU Project) can easily maintain it.

That's fine, in principle, but until they decided to make it stable,
we should write important code in some other language.
