pupcheck file commands

The pupcheck file consists of a number of one-word commands, followed by the arguments to that command. If the command takes a free text argument, this will be the last argument and will consist of the rest of the line.

The command is case insensitive, so you can use camelCase.

If your selector has a space due to choosing a child element, wrap in parentheses.
