A CLI argument specification and a parser that implements it. Mostly because I’m annoyed with Python’s argparse, so I’m adding blackjack and removing hookers. Also because I’m annoyed with the arguments used for programs at work and how the same author might use args a different way for each tool (To pull up a usage string, you might need to use `help`, `-h`, `--help`, `-help`, `+help`, or `+<prog>.help`… not all scripts display a usage string when no args are given).

It’s not much, but it’s all I can cram into the free time I have, there’s a possibility I might actually finish it for once, and it’s something I could actually use once it’s done.
