NOTE: Version 0.7.0 switched to the [kingpin](https://github.com/alecthomas/kingpin) flags library. With this change, flag behaviour is POSIX-ish:
* long flags start with two dashes (`--version`)
* multiple short flags can be combined (but there currently is only one)
* flag processing stops at the first `--`
