Update readme or somewhere to compare to yargs and minimist

yargs and minimist are the real alternatives these days, I think.

I put in some requests over the last 6 months, if implemented, dashdash can remain the best

Both mentioned libraries by default parse all options without any config, which is an approach (explicit vs implicit) completely different from dashdash. yargs comes with a bunch of 25 depedencies!

But it's true that depending on the (dev) tooling you are using you might already have one of them present in your node_modules as a transitive dependency.

That's how I know: https://github.com/karfau/node-cli-arguments-options
