Adding separate tag option
As outlined in #49, there is a need to mimic the behavior of other applications by interweaving positional and non-positional parameters. This change adds the 'separate' option that will force a arg of type []string to only read the next supplied value. For example, when dealing with the following arg type: var MyArgs struct { Pos []string `arg:"positional"` Separate []string `arg:"-s,separate"` } This commit will parse the following command line: ./app pos1 pos2 -s=separate1 -s=separate2 pos3 -s=separate3 pos4 Such that MyArgs.Pos will be [pos1 pos2 pos3 pos4] and MyArgs.Separate will be [separate1 separate2 separate3]. Unit tests for the above have also been written and are included in this commit, as well as the addition of a section to README.md and an example func in example_test.go. Fixes #49
