Evaluate type-docopt (type validation w/ docopt) #24

Open bittner opened 2 years ago

The original docopt implementation supports default values, but it doesn't support types including choices, let alone type validation. There are two alternatives for that:

Manual schema validation, see also https://github.com/docopt/docopt/issues/327
type-docopt, see also https://github.com/dreamgonfly/type-docopt/issues/1

This topic is also discussed on the docopt-ng issue tracker.
