 A simple, zero-dependency command line argument parser for Rust.
 
-This crate is not intended to be everything for everyone.  This crate is
-meant to cover only the basic command line parsing needed by most
-software, while staying simple and lightweight. If a feature seems to be
-missing--particularly if it's needed for more sophisticated
-interfaces--that is likely intentional.
+This crate is intended for the common use case of simple utility-like
+command line argument parsing.  It is explicitly *not* intended to
+handle complex command line interfaces (e.g. sub-commands,
+sophisticated argument interdependencies, etc.).  It's just a small,
+simple crate for basic argument and flag parsing, and that's it.
 
-If you need an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink command line argument
-parser, consider [clap](https://crates.io/crates/clap).
