What is the argument for `--safe`? #44

$ python -m libcst.tool codemod autotyping.AutotypeCommand --help
...
--safe [SAFE]         Apply all safe transformations

What is this argument for? It prevents me from doing python -m libcst.tool codemod autotyping.AutotypeCommand --safe src_dir, as src_dir is interpreted as the optional argument. Since it's not documented, I'm wondering if it's really necessary.

Oops, there shouldn't be an argument. For now you can use --safe 1 or whatever. I'll make it so the flag doesn't take an argument for the next release.
