Executable

Command line interfaces the Ruby Way!

Executable is to the commandline, what ActiveRecord is the database. You can think of Executable as a COM, a Command-line Object Mapper, just as ActiveRecord is an ORM (Object Relational Mapper). Any class mixing in Executable or subclassing Executable::Command can define a complete command line tool using nothing more than Ruby's standard syntax. No special DSL is required.
