I thought I mentioned that in the docs, but it seems like I forgot it: 
the `:' after the message is needed even if the action is empty.

And while I'm at it... I'm the only one who writes option
descriptions, it seems, which I can understand considering how tedious 
that is. So my question is: if an option gets only one argument,
should we turn it's description automatically into the
option-description? Probably prefixed by something like `specify: '?

 To include a colon in the var(message) or the var(action), it has to
 be preceded by a backslash.
