TODO list for Perl module Getopt::Lucid

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Bugs
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#

- repeated parameters should be OK -- later should override.  Could add 
  a "unique" modifier for original behavior

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Features to add
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#

- new option types:  
  - Version( $string ) -- defaults to "--version" and preempts exceptions
    - prints $VERSION of script
  - Help( $string ) -- defaults to "--help|-h|-?" and preempts exceptions
    - prints any usage information defined in spec?
    - optional coderef to handle help (given rest of command line as args)
- create spec modifier with coderef to denote a potential command
    - dispatch to command immediately when seen & pass the rest of the 
      array for further processing -- maybe gets back modified command line
      if it comes back at all
    - commands() function to give list of command seen on command line (?)
    - dispatch() function to call, in order, the list of commands (?)
- Usage information in spec and printed by a separate function
    - optional name for params usage("msg", "FILE") --> --input=FILE
    - usage("msg", "LABEL", "VALUE") --> --keypair LABEL=VALUE
- For keypair validation, pass *both* key and value to a validation 
  subroutine (allowing custom validation by key)
- Callbacks (?)
- option to allow unrecognized dash-prefixed options without exception
- "cuddle" parameters -- e.g. "-Ilib" is "-I lib"

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Bugfixes/technical/other
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------#

- test how negation is handled under $STRICT
- write cookbook
- refactor ugly code (module and tests)
- Allow keypairs to escape an equals sign for use in keys(?) -- e.g.
  "define is\==value" giving "is=" => "value" (Does anyone really need
  this?)
