fn main() {

    // Apps describe the top level application
    //
    // You create an App and set various options on that App using the "builder pattern"
    //
    // The options (version(), author(), about()) aren't mandatory, but recommended. There is
    // another option, usage(), which is an exception to the rule. This should only be used when
    // the default usage string automatically generated by clap doesn't suffice.
    //
    // You also set all the valid arguments your App should accept via the arg(), args(), arg_from_usage()
    // and args_from_usage() (as well as subcommands via the subcommand() and subcommands() methods) which
    // will be covered later.
    //
    // Once all options have been set, call .get_matches() in order to start the parsing and find all valid
    // command line arguments that supplied by the user at runtime. The name given to new() will be displayed
    // when the version or help flags are used.
    let matches = App::new("MyApp")

    // This example doesn't do much, but it *does* give automatic -h, --help, -v, and --version functionality ;)
     
    // Continued program logic goes here...
