"""Variant on standard library's cmd with extra features.

To use, simply import cmd2.Cmd instead of cmd.Cmd; use precisely as though you
were using the standard library's cmd, while enjoying the extra features.

Searchable command history (commands: "hi", "li", "run")
Load commands from file, save to file, edit commands in file
Multi-line commands
Case-insensitive commands
Special-character shortcut commands (beyond cmd's "@" and "!")
Settable environment parameters
Parsing commands with `optparse` options (flags)
Redirection to file with >, >>; input from file with <

Note that redirection with > and | will only work if `self.stdout.write()`
is used in place of `print`.  The standard library's `cmd` module is 
written to use `self.stdout.write()`, 

- Catherine Devlin, Jan 03 2008 - catherinedevlin.blogspot.com

CHANGES:
As of 0.3.0, options should be specified as `optparse` options.  See README.txt.
flagReader.py options are still supported for backward compatibility
