Description

Especially for the irc exferenceBot. People _always_ try `:exf foo bar` until they learn that they need to `:exf "foo bar"`. And the numeric flags require special syntax too.

Start by locating the IRC exferenceBot command-line parsing entry point and reading its current GetOpt handling. Check how butcher could address space-separated arguments and numeric flags, then verify that :exf foo bar and the existing numeric-flag syntax behave as intended.
