# Parse options twice: first to get the project and second to handle
For boolean arguments it's convenient to be able to specify both the argument and its opposite on the command line. This is especially convenient because you can change the default via the settings file and being able express the opposite can be the only way to override things. Luckily python handles this well--we just need to specify things with BooleanOptionalAction. We'll do that for all options except "full-help" (where it feels silly). This uglifies the help text a little bit but does give maximum flexibility.
