argument processing in the minimum number of lines of code (for you, the
programmer).

- Sensible defaults. No tweaking necessary, much tweaking possible.
- Support for long options, short options, short option bundling,
and automatic type validation and conversion.
- Automatic help message generation, wrapped to current screen width.
