  Description     : command-line argument parsing module for Lua

 cliargs is a command-line argument parser for Lua. It supports several types
of arguments:
 .
  * required arguments
  * optional arguments with different notations: -short-key VALUE and/or
--expanded-key=VALUE
  * optional arguments with multiple-values that get appended to a list
  * optional "flag" arguments (on/off options) with notations: -short-key
and/or --expanded-key
  * a single optional "splat" argument which can be repeated (must be the last
argument)
 .
 Optional arguments can have default values (strings), flags always default to
'true'.


This package is a dependency of busted (#783044), which in turn is a dependency
to run tests for neovim (#752264).

I plan to maintain it in pkg-lua.
