Add concept of arguments #2

Description

@peterbourgon

Rarely do I want a simple <command> <opaque parameter string> structure. I'd like to register commands with some kind of argument spec, which could be validated and propagated to my handler function.

Concrete use case: register all of the following commands:

  • foo —plain command as it exists now; trailing arguments passed as opaque string to handler
  • bar <string> [string] —one string argument is required, everything after that is passed as an opaque string to my handler, which is (ideally) func doBar(string, string) but could be func doBar([]interface{}) or func doBar(interface{}...)
  • baz {alpha,beta,delta} <integer> [string]{alpha,beta,delta} being valid string tokens for that required argument (with tab-completion, natch), <integer> being a required argument that must successfully strconv.ParseInt, and [string] being an optional opaque string argument.
