This gets the list more directly. We could also just lookup a key in the
big map to get the same effect, but this is more logical for now. This
is useful for removing the importing of three packages.
The new version of the urfave/cli library is moving to generics, and
it's completely unclear to me why this is an improvement. Their new API
is very complicated to understand, which for me, defeats the purpose of
golang.
In parallel, I needed to do some upcoming cli API refactoring, so this
was a good time to look into new libraries. After a review of the
landscape, I found the alexflint/go-arg library which has a delightfully
elegant API. It does have a few rough edges, but it's otherwise very
usable, and I think it would be straightforward to add features and fix
issues.
Thanks Alex!
