Package mflag (aka multiple-flag) implements command-line flag parsing.
It's an **hacky** fork of the [official golang package](http://golang.org/pkg/flag/)
It adds:
* both short and long flag version
`./example -s red` `./example --string blue`
* multiple names for the same option
```
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
-s, --string="": a simple string
```
___
It is very flexible on purpose, so you can do things like:
```
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
-s, -string, --string="": a simple string
```
Or:
```
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
-oldflag, --newflag="": a simple string
```
You can also hide some flags from the usage, so if we want only `--newflag`:
```
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
--newflag="": a simple string
$>./example -oldflag str
str
```
See [example.go](example/example.go) for more details.
