I don't see anything in the post or the linked tutorial that gives a flavor of the user experience when you supply an invalid option. I tried running the example, but I've forgotten too much about Node and TypeScript to make it work. (It can't resolve the @optique references.) What happens when you pass --foo, --target bar, or --port 3.14?

I had a similar question: to me, the output format “or” statement looks like it might deterministically pick one winner instead of alerting the user that they erred. A good parser is terrific, but it needs to give useful feedback.
