Whitespace is killing me #67

For anyone interested in using docopt in Go, this seems like a great option. However, in it's current state, this package is harder to work with than the speed gains potentially provided by DocOpt. I am a firm believer in docopt and what it tries to do, so understand I really want this package to work, sadly it does not.

This issue is meant to steer people away until major issues are fixed.

The critical issues can be found by perusing the issues here in this repo, so I won't rehash them, but suffice to say i've wasted more hours debugging the parsing this package uses, then actually using it.

Hey @morganhein

I've recently launched my own version of docopt for go - docli. The motivation was the lack of proper maintenance and new features in this one. It's production ready, although there are some limitations that will be properly addressed after I finish to write more effective tests.

I hope you like it.
