Is there such a thing as POSIX-compliant argument descriptions? I know POSIX specifies some things about the format of options, but I didn't realize there was a formalized option description language.

Yes. IEEE Std. 1003.1 Utility Conventions

This is actually how Docopt happened (Vladimir Keleshev mentioned it in the PyCon UK 2012 talk).

Me neither, I thought docopt was a hardcoded fragile thing, until the author explains everything is almost perfectly defined.
