"""
Tool for filtering a tabular data file. Fields are separated by tabs, the 
header line is denoted by a '#' in the first byte, comments are denoted by
a '#' at the start of any subsequent line.

Expressions can use column names as well as numbers. The -c options allows
cutting, again using field name or numbers.

usage: %prog expression < table 
    -H, --header:       keep header in output
    -C, --comments:     keep comments in output
    --force-header:     assume the first line is a header even if it does not start with "#"
    -c, --cols=1,2:     names or indexes of columns to keep
