I did the same something like 10 months ago, but then I got frustrated by
other things and never finished it.  My idea was to extract the options
from the usage string, similarly to what I did in this recipe:

As you say, args-fold is neat in principle, but inusable in practice,
so we really need
an easy-to-use wrapper for it.
