24 days of Rust - clap

clap is a fantastic Rust library for Command Line Argument Parsing. It's both easy to use and powerful - in the spirit of Rust philosophy - you get what you pay for. Simple CLI options are simple to define, while complex schemes (think git level of complex) are absolutely doable.

clap is also one of the best examples of what I would call developer marketing in the Rust community. It has a beautiful and informative homepage, an extensive README (including changelog - see note below), a bunch of good examples, even video tutorials! Hats off to Kevin and all clap contributors, you're doing a great job!

Note: Rust crate authors, please, please add changelogs/release notes to your libraries. Coming from Python where it's customary, it struck me that a lot of libraries do not document their changes aside from the commit log. (Oops, I'm guilty of this myself...)
