TODO: Write more usage instructions here

TODO

[ ] execution policy (1. parse all THEN exec handler, 2. or parse AND exec when possible) 1. will be hard (impossible ?) when a callback comsume arguments based on runtime state.. ? [ ] recursive options : options that are applied on subparsers [ ] Exceptions on missing or no match
