  That is a great idea that makes you smack yourself on the head and say "Why didn't I think of that?". Or more like, "Why didn't I think of that 10 years ago?". I think I'll have to port it to my favorite scripting language.

    wow, great! what is your scripting language?
    • ansible 14y ago
      I use Lua (http://www.lua.org http://www.lua.org) for personal projects.

        I know a tiny bit of Lua. Write me halst@ya.ru or skype "halst." we can discuss your Lua port.

    It should be easy to port it - docopt is only 366 LOC itself.
