SUPER EASY alternative method for getting command line options into your program.

Rather than use the 'module' DSL syntax, we just re-use an existing class. Any method accessor will be used verbatim as a switch. OptiFlag will crawl up the inheritance hierarchy up to (but not including) object and use all accessors as standard 'flag's.
