Extend handling of arguments #29

Open trueqbit opened 6 years ago

trueqbit commented 6 years ago

I'd like to propose to extend the handling of arguments, which I have implemented in a fork of mine (which is again based on BMBurstein's).

Specifically:

allow for hidden arguments and options (which is used for another upcoming PR for subcommands)
list arguments in the help output if they have a description
make Args handle the case when argv doesn't contain the executable as its first element, which is useful for Win32 programs
