cmd2 is an extension to the Standard Library's cmd module.  It can be
used as a drop-in replacement for cmd, providing new functionality for
command-prompt applications without requiring rewriting.

    * Searchable command history
    * 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 flags
