Same thing with `--release` where it shows `<String>` where jar, javac, and other tools will say "release". Not important for now, just comments from trying out the tool.

It seems that it is possible in joptsimple to attach a description to the argument as well, and get something like:


--module-path <String: module path>   The class path as used at runtime


It looks like we could also customize the argument type and get something like:


--module-path <ModulePath>


(we'd just need to add a `ModulePath` class with a `valueOf(String)` method)
