--------------

This module combines the Python standard library modules argparse and
cmd to provide a unified way to make cli programs that can also be
interactive (when invoked in "shell" mode).

The main benefit to using this package is streamlined command hierarchy
when you want to have rich set of subcommands along with a pretty
powerful tab completion layer that parses argparse arguments
automagically.
