Add structopt dependency in version 0.3.7
This patch series replaces argparse with structopt in the argument handling code. As a first step, we need structopt as a dependency.

+use clap::App;
+
+fn main() {
+ // You can use some convenience macros provided by clap to get typed values, so long as the
+ // type you specify implements std::str::FromStr
+ //
+ // This works for both single, and multiple values (multiple values returns a Vec<T>)
+ //
+ // There are also two ways in which to get types, those where failures cause the program to exit
+ // with an error and usage string, and those which return a Result<T,String> or Result<Vec<T>,String>
+ // respectively. Both methods support single and multiple values.
+ //
+ // The macro which returns a Result allows you decide what to do upon a failure, exit, provide a
+ // default value, etc. You have control. But it also means you have to write the code or boiler plate
+ // to handle those instances.
+ //
+ // That is why the second method exists, so you can simply get a T or Vec<T> back, or be sure the
+ // program will exit gracefully. The catch is, the second method should *only* be used on required
+ // arguments, because if the argument isn't found, it exits. Just FYI ;)
+ //
+ // The following example shows both methods.
+ //
+ // **NOTE:** to use the macros, you must include #[macro_use] just above the 'extern crate clap;'
+ // declaration in your crate root.

+ -l [len] 'A length to use, defaults to 10 when omitted'")
+ .get_matches();
+
+ // Here we get a value of type u32 from our optional -l argument.
+ // If the value provided to len fails to parse, we default to 10
+ //
+ // Using other methods such as unwrap_or_else(|e| println!("{}",e))
+ // are possible too.

+ // This code loops through all the values provided to "seq" and adds 2
+ // If seq fails to parse, the program exits, you don't have an option
+ for v in values_t!(matches, "seq", u32).unwrap_or_else(|e| e.exit()) {
