A nice args (arguments) interface for golang projects

args.go

type Args interface {
	// Get returns the nth argument, or else a blank string
	Get(n int) string
	// First returns the first argument, or else a blank string
	First() string
	// Tail returns the rest of the arguments (not the first one)
	// or else an empty string slice
	Tail() []string
	// Len returns the length of the wrapped slice
	Len() int
	// Present checks if there are any arguments present
	Present() bool
	// Slice returns a copy of the internal slice
	Slice() []string
