Indicate status in Exit exception

[cdlm]

Exit should provide information as to why docopt raised it: for instance, exiting because of --help is a nominal scenario, while an illegal option should cause an exit with a non-zero exit code.

Was there a solution to this? I agree that the return value should be 0 when using --help but I don't see a way to fix it.

As anybody actually looking at this repo anymore?

I'm afraid I won't be available to go through the issues anymore.

@keleshev should we open an issue on this repo to find new maintainers for docopt.rb?

[amir20]

Repo is over 3 years unchanged. Python package is a lot more active. I support finding new maintainers :+1:

@amir20 @johari I tweeted: https://twitter.com/keleshev/status/628895056037060608 I hope you can help spread the word.

Stumbled upon the same issue — how to differentiate between exceptions and non-exceptional exceptions. I guess one could compare the exception's message to one's usage string.

So what is the situation in this little long term discussion? Is there anyone caring enough and capable of continuing the maintenance of this delicate flower? Some minor maintenance issues (like this exit code) could make a difference for some of us.
