    Mostly a mess of pattern matching. I really need to make some generic tree utilities. Haven't been able to find a decent parser combinator that works in Scala 3 (I usually use fastparse which depends heavily on Scala 2 macros, and scala-parser-combinators works in Scala 3, but I've had a lot of trouble getting it to not be too greedy), so I used the state monad from cats to parse at the bottom of the file, which I think turned out fairly nice.

    Scallop is great -- it allows you to wrap entire functions and routines inside calls which pass arguments (like --name) and use them.
