// Parse `argv` based on command-line interface described in `doc`.
//
// docopt creates your command-line interface based on its
// description that you pass as `doc`. Such description can contain
// --options, <positional-argument>, commands, which could be
// [optional], (required), (mutually | exclusive) or repeated...
//
// Parameters:
//  doc : string
//   Description of your command-line interface.
//
//  argv : list of string or nil
//   Argument vector to be parsed. os.Args[1:] is used if nil.
//
//  help : bool (default: true)
//   Set to false to disable automatic help on -h or --help options.
//
//  version : string
//   If set to something besides an empty string, the string will be printed
//   if --version is in argv
//
//  optionsFirst : bool (default: false)
//   Set to true to require options precede positional arguments,
//   i.e. to forbid options and positional arguments intermix.
//
// Returns:
//  args : map[string]interface{}
//   A map, where keys are names of command-line elements
//   such as e.g. "--verbose" and "<path>", and values are the
//   parsed values of those elements.
//
//  err : error, *docopt.LanguageError, *docopt.UserError
//
//  os.Exit on user error or help
//
// Example:
//  package main
//
//  import (
//      "fmt"
//      docopt "github.com/docopt/docopt.go"
//  )
//
//  func main() {
//      doc := `
//  Usage:
//    my_program tcp <host> <port> [--timeout=<seconds>]
//    my_program serial <port> [--baud=<n>] [--timeout=<seconds>]
//    my_program (-h | --help | --version)
//
//  Options:
//    -h, --help Show this screen and exit.
//    --baud=<n> Baudrate [default: 9600]
//  `
//      argv := []string{"tcp", "127.0.0.1", "80", "--timeout", "30"}
//      fmt.Println(docopt.Parse(doc, argv, true, "", false))
//  }
//
// Example output:
//  {"--baud": "9600",
//   "--help": false,
//   "--timeout": "30",
//   "--version": false,
//   "<host>": "127.0.0.1",
