note that people expect "cmd --help" to at least do nothing. So if your program is called "launchMissiles", please make it at least spit out a message like "your evil dictator was too lazy to write a help message" when it is called with --help. (That is if you are sharing your program. Not sure if you should share "launchMissiles" at all.)
