Minimal cli args parser.

It's possible to define a default value for an option in case it's not specified in the argv

const mclip = require("mclip");

const options = mclip(process.argv, {
  foo: { default: "banana", description: "Sets the foo", short: "f" },
  boo: { description: "This option does something" },
  tem: { short: "t" },
});

It's possible to define descriptions about the expected parameters; if the script is called with --help it will print the usage informations and exit.
