// Package commander is used to manage a set of command-line "commands", with
// per-command flags and arguments.
//
// Supports command like so:
//
//   <command> <required> [<optional> [<optional> ...]]
//   <command> <remainder...>
//
// eg.
//
//   register [--name <name>] <nick>|<id>
//   post --channel|-a <channel> [--image <image>] [<text>]
//
// var (
//   chat = commander.New()
//   debug = chat.Flag("debug", "enable debug mode").Default("false").Bool()
//
//   register = chat.Command("register", "Register a new user.")
//   registerName = register.Flag("name", "name of user").Required().String()
//   registerNick = register.Arg("nick", "nickname for user").Required().String()
//
//   post = chat.Command("post", "Post a message to a channel.")
//   postChannel = post.Flag("channel", "channel to post to").Short('a').Required().String()
//   postImage = post.Flag("image", "image to post").String()
// )
