+main.rb features the following:
+ - unification of option, argument, keyword, and environment
+ parameter parsing
+ - auto generation of usage and help messages
+ - support for mode/sub-commands
+ - io redirection support
+ - logging hooks using ruby's built-in logging mechanism
+ - intelligent error handling and exit codes
+ - use as dsl or library for building Main objects
+ - parsing user defined ARGV and ENV
+ - zero requirements for understanding the obtuse apis of any
+ command line option parsers
+ - leather pants
+
+ In short main.rb aims to drastically lower the barrier to writing
+ uniform command line applications.
