In the present version of genparse new strings are always printed
in new lines. For example (also from the ls commmand):
d / directory flag "list directory entries instead of
contents,"
" and do not dereference symbolic
links"
in the genparse (.gp) file is translated into
-d, --directory list directory entries instead of contents,\n\
and do not dereference symbolic links\n\
in the generated usage() function. Or
NONE / group-directories-first flag "" "group directories before files"
could be used to generate
--group-directories-first\n\
group directories before files\n\
in the usage() function.
So presently it doesn't work, but your idea is not bad. I will think
about it again and maybe change genparse such that multiple comment
strings in the same line will simply be concatenated.
