subcommand optionparser lambda variation
#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w
######################################
# A tiny wrapper over optparse that gives easy subcommand facility.
# It also neatly prints help for global and subcommands
# as well as summarizes subcommands in global help.
#
# @author Rahul Kumar, Jun 2010
# @date 2010-06-20 22:33
#
# @examples
# if a program has subcommands foo and baz
#
# ruby opt.rb help
# ruby opt.rb --help
# ruby opt.rb help foo
# ruby opt.rb foo --help
# ruby opt.rb baz --quiet "some text"
# ruby opt.rb --verbose foo --force file.zzz
#
# == STEPS
# 1. define global_options (optional)
#
# global_options do |opts|
# opts.banner = "Usage: opt.rb [options] [subcommand [options]]"
# opts.description = "Stupid program that does something"
# opts.separator ""
# opts.separator "Global options are:"
# opts.on("-v", "--[no-]verbose", "Run verbosely") do |v|
# options[:verbose] = v
# end
# end
#
# 2. define commands using command().
# command :foo do |opts|
# opts.banner = "Usage: foo [options]"
# opts.description = "desc for foo"
# opts.on("-f", "--[no-]force", "force verbosely") do |v|
# options[:force] = v
# end
# end
#
# 3. call opt_parse()
#
# 4. As before, handle ARGS and options hash.
