Have ideas for possible types or actions?

If you have ideas for more types or actions to be included in more-argparse, simply create an issue tagged "Feature Request" and enter your hopes and dreams for the type or action. If you have written a custom type or action in the past feel free to include the code in your issue. Better yet, include the code in the repository yourself and submit a pull request.
