Description

If CliBuilder supported argument file processing, then commands like groovydoc will automatically have such support and match the functionality of javadoc.
If the file temp.args contains the content:

-arg1 paramA paramB

Then calling the command line with:

someCommand @temp.args -arg2 paramC

Is the same as calling this:

somecommand -arg1 paramA paramB -arg2 paramC
