I've been working a bit on a new Argument parser

void main(int num, array argv) { mapping args = Arg.parse(argv); argv = args[Arg.REST]; }

i tried this, and it does not work like that.

Arg.REST does not exist, and Arg.parse(argv); produces Index parse not present in module "Arg".

if i change that to Arg()->parse(argv); i get: No cast method in object. /local/users/mbaehr/tomoyo/src/pike/Pike.g-7.7/lib/modules/Arg.pike:484:

from looking at the source i can't tell if there is stuff missing or if there is a different way to use it.
