  sources: {
    configs: [], // config files to read from. none by default
    interactive: true, // use interactive prompts
    console: true // read from console arguments
    // environment is always on if the 'env' option below is specified
  },
  alias: 'f', // shorthand console argument name
  env: 'foo_env', // name of the environment variable to read from
  message: 'input foo', // message to display in interactive prompt
  error: 'failed to read foo', // message to display when input was invalid
  error_callback: (opt, val, err)=>{...}, // function to call when an option value could not be read
  exit_on_interrupt: true,  // exit program when user cancels the interactive prompt
}).parse();

config files can import other config files with #include. example:

#include base.json
{
  "foo": "bar"
}

config files are parsed using hjson
