Thanks, the move to argparse and moving class ubx into the python module
was not as smooth as it should have been.

Uh, ubxtool does not use OPTSVAR for anything.  Intentionally.
It does use UBXOPTS, maybe you mean that?

You can send diffs here to the mailing list,  "git send-email" can make
that easy.  Or create a merge request on GitLab.  Which you use is personal
preference.

I just ask for more and smaller patches instead of one massive one.  That
way I can merge the easy stuff right away as we discuss the harder stuff.
