util.argparse: Return final 'arg' table with positional arguments for convenience This is the same as the input table (which is mutated during processing), but if that table was created on the fly, such as by packing `...` it's convenient if it also gets returned from the parse function.

-- Storage Interface API Description
--
-- This is written as a TypedLua description

-- Key-Value stores (the default)

interface keyval_store
	get : ( self, string? ) -> (any) | (nil, string)
	set : ( self, string?, any ) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
end

-- Map stores (key-key-value stores)

interface map_store
	get : ( self, string?, any ) -> (any) | (nil, string)
	set : ( self, string?, any, any ) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
	set_keys : ( self, string?, { any : any }) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
	remove : {}
end

-- Archive stores

typealias archive_query = {
	"start"  : number?, -- timestamp
	"end"    : number?, -- timestamp
	"with"   : string?,
	"after"  : string?, -- archive id
	"before" : string?, -- archive id
	"total"  : boolean?,
}

interface archive_store
	-- Optional set of capabilities
	caps   : {
		-- Optional total count of matching items returned as second return value from :find()
		"total" : boolean?,
	}?

	-- Add to the archive
	append : ( self, string?, string?, any, number?, string? ) -> (string) | (nil, string)

	-- Iterate over archive
	find   : ( self, string?, archive_query? ) -> ( () -> ( string, any, number?, string? ), integer? )

	-- Removal of items. API like find. Optional?
	delete : ( self, string?, archive_query? ) -> (boolean) | (number) | (nil, string)

	-- Array of dates which do have messages (Optional?)
	dates  : ( self, string? ) -> ({ string }) | (nil, string)

	-- Map of counts per "with" field
	summary : ( self, string?, archive_query? ) -> ( { string : integer } ) | (nil, string)

	-- Map-store API
	get    : ( self, string, string ) -> (stanza, number?, string?) | (nil, string)
	set    : ( self, string, string, stanza, number?, string? ) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
end

-- This represents moduleapi
interface module
	-- If the first string is omitted then the name of the module is used
	-- The second string is one of "keyval" (default), "map" or "archive"
	open_store : (self, string?, string?) -> (keyval_store) | (map_store) | (archive_store) | (nil, string)

	-- Other module methods omitted
