.parse(argv) ⇒ Array<Array<Symbol, String, Array>>

Returns A list of tuples for each parameter, where the first entry is the type and the second entry the actual parsed parameter.

list = parse(['tea', '--no-milk', '--sweetener=honey'])
list # => [[:arg, "tea"],
           [:flag, ["milk", false]],
           [:option, ["sweetener", "honey"]]]
