Enable use of 'set -u' #33

Closed rdonkin closed 5 years ago

rdonkin commented 5 years ago

set -u is useful to detect coding errors where variables are unset, and is part of unofficial strict mode for bash.

This does affect the use of $1 etc - this PR fixes errors in docopts.sh that occur when set -u is enabled. The code still works without set -u enabled, of course.

The examples commit is optional, no need to include when merging but it might be helpful to see that it works.

Tested under bash 5.0 and 3.2.

May you can drop a sort paragraph in README.md? About set -u and unofficial strict mode

Between, OPTIONS and EXAMPLES I guess.

Some other compatibles usages, may grow here.

I've done README.md update in new COMPATIBILITY section. I also included a paragraph on bash 4.x and bash 3.2 support, mentioning the new --auto -G feature.

Will do new PR for that commit so it's easy to merge.
