Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

pdb is usinggetopt for argument parsing.getopt is pretty old and not well maintained. Some issue in#108791 could be avoided with the modernargparse module. We should replacegetopt withargparse when it's easy to do so. This might ease the load in the future when more arguments are added to the CLI.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
