-If you don't like the method `on` (because it sounds like the option **expects**
-a block), you can use the `opt` or `option` alternatives.

-If you don't like that Slop evaluates your block, or you want slop access
-inside of your block without referring to `self`, you can pass a block argument to
-`parse`.

 If you want some pretty output for the user to see your options, you can just
 send the Slop object to `puts` or use the `help` method.
