Re: Origin of tools.cli optional
Thanks for your answer. I will adapt the small number of programs I have to the newer version of the library. Rather than criticize your efforts in a language in which I am still very much a student, I will just say I miss the required optional syntax. Other than that, your library is extremely helpful, whether I have to back-adapt or not. Thanks again.
