Now that we have clap 3.0 released, trimming the fat is going to be a focus.

  Ah, I've been using the betas and release candidates for a while now. Amazing it's finally stable, thank you. Also, I don't necessarily blame clap for being heavyweight. Argument parsing is hard, and clap does it well - with nice help output! I've also accepted the cost of proc macros (at least while syn is not in the standard library). For me, the derived style where I get populated structures out is well worth it. Of course, any improvement is welcome. But clap works great for me, and is a dependency I happily pull in.

While the feature set justifies some of the cost, I don't want to be complacent about it and excuse any excess as just coming from the feature set. I think we have a lot of room for improvement.
