+Package flag wraps Go's built-in flag package, with the addition of idiomatic custom flags.
+
+Custom Flags
+
+Custom flags are wrappers around Go's built-in string flags, with a parser
+func. They can be used to parse custom flag types, or to have custom flag
+validators, while keeping the parsing & validation with the flag's definition.

+			if !(raw == "table" || raw == "json") {
+				return nil, fmt.Errorf("must be either json or table, got %v", raw)

+			return raw, nil
