When running via -X or -T: - args are now validated - benefits from rich bb cli coercion support - usage help shows using keyword :arg syntax When running via -M: - preserved existing behaviour - support more coercions - usage help shows using cli -arg syntax General: - Narrower, easier to read usage help - Options relating only to dependency-check strategy are now grouped under their own heading - Some rewording/rewriting of descriptions for clarity - Command line error styled in red for visibility - Support for aligning multi-line argument descriptions - File options fail fast if file does not exist - More coercions to keywords happen at command parse time instead of within code. Code adjusted appropriately. Closes clj-holmes#77

Currently
Clj-watson employs cli-matic to specify and parse its command line options.
But..
Cli-matic is good, but I think babashka.cli will likely be a better fit.
They both support specifying your command line, but babashka.cli is more of a toolbox than just a DSL and offers more flexibility:
[no-]variant documented in usage. Something we'd like to do for Consider behaviour when no nvd api key specified #67.[ONLY APPLIED IF USING DEPENDENCY_CHECK STRATEGY]arguments to their own section in usage helpclj-watson.propertieson classpath seems a bit odd #70 (comment)Consideration
Clj-watson explicitly supports clojure tool
-Tusage.At the very least, we need to retain any existing
-Tniceties.See #67 (comment)
Next Steps
I'll explore this idea locally, and if it all is good, follow up with a PR.
