Hi folks!

I just finished my new gem: Caty

It’s a command line parser that maps the user input directly to instance  
methods of a class – much like the great Thor does.

It supports global and task-specific options that autoconvert input to  
common  
types such as Integer or Boolean, as well as aliases for your tasks.

It also features a Rake-like help system to autogenerate console help  
output  
from your source code.

You can take a look at it on its website:  
[http://karottenreibe.github.com/caty](http://karottenreibe.github.com/caty)  
I especially recommend _the presentation_!

Comments are welcome.

Greetz!
