  Description     : a modern, pirate-themed, successor to optimist

 Yargs helps you build interactive command line tools by parsing arguments and
 generating an elegant user interface.
 .
 Yargs gives you:
 * commands and (grouped) options (like module run -n --force),
 * a dynamically generated help menu based on your arguments,
 * bash-completion shortcuts for commands and options.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

Yargs is a new dependency of node-carto, which needs to be updated for the new
kosmtik package. I am working on a couple of other dependencies of node-carto,
so if someone can help share the load with yargs and some of it's dependencies,
I would be very grateful.
