Cobra has an exceptionally clean interface and simple design without needless
constructors or initialization methods.
Applications built with Cobra commands are designed to be as user friendly as
possible. Flags can be placed before or after the command (as long as a
confusing space isnt provided). Both short and long flags can be used. A
command need not even be fully typed. The shortest unambiguous string will
suffice. Help is automatically generated and available for the application or
for a specific command using either the help command or the --help flag.
## Concepts
Cobra is built on a structure of commands & flags.

## Debugging
Cobra provides a DebugFlags method on a command which when called will print
out everything Cobra knows about the flags for each command
### Example
command.DebugFlags()
## Release Notes
* **0.9.0** June 17, 2014
* flags can appears anywhere in the args (provided they are unambiguous)
* --help prints usage screen for app or command
* Prefix matching for commands
* Cleaner looking help and usage output
* Extensive test suite
* **0.8.0** Nov 5, 2013
* Reworked interface to remove commander completely
* Command now primary structure
