  Description     : Typed command-line arguments parser for Node.js

 Tiny CLI flag parser whose schema returns TypeScript-inferred application
 values. Use parser functions like Number, Date, enum validators, or
 object builders, then read clean output from parsed.flags. No
 dependencies & tree-shakable (Max 1.4 kB).
 .
 Features:
 .
  - App-ready values: parser functions return numbers, dates, enums,
    objects, nullable values, or validated strings.
  - Readable schemas: keep type, alias, and default next to the app key
    they configure.
  - TypeScript confidence: bundled types infer flags from parser return
    types and defaults.
  - Forwarding wrappers: known flags, unknown flags, positionals, and
    leftover argv stay easy to separate.
  - CLI-friendly naming: camelCase schema keys accept kebab-case input
    like --some-flag.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
