class Command(object):
	"""
	A general-purpose base class for creating commands for a command-line
	program using argparse. Each subclass of Command represents a separate
	sub-command of a program.

	For example, one might use Command subclasses to implement the Mercurial
	command set::

		class Commit(Command):
			@staticmethod
			def add_arguments(cls, parser):
				parser.add_argument('-m', '--message')

			@classmethod
			def run(cls, args):
				"Run the 'commit' command with args (parsed)"

		class Merge(Command): pass
		class Pull(Command): pass
		...

	Then one could create an entry point for Mercurial like so::

		def hg_command():
			Command.invoke()

		cls.add_arguments(parser)
		return parser
