// Hello is a hello, world program, demonstrating
// how to write a simple command-line program.
//
// Usage:
//
//	hello [options] [name]
//
// The options are:
//
//	-g greeting
//		Greet with the given greeting, instead of "Hello".
//
//	-r
//		Greet in reverse.
//
// By default, hello greets the world.
// If a name is specified, hello greets that name instead.
