I thought that, too. But when I rapidly prototyped my command line parser in
Prolog, I found that I missed types, determinism categories, modes...
Declarative IO is something like this, too, but wasn't important for that
command line parser. Things that help to get your head straight. I came to
the conclusion that doing it "right" from the beginning is better.

(That parser turned out to be much more involved than I thought.)

But it's a matter of taste, I guess.
