I thought that /option/ defines the possible arguments and /args/ defined  
which of these are required.

I expected ths:
| option :debug, :arity => [1,1]

to be a definition of the (optional) argument "--debug", which consumes  
exactly one parameter.

$ ./testapp.rb --debug 2 file1 file2

@debug #=> "2"
@file1 #=> "file1"
@file2 #=> "file2"


How is your example app6.rb supposed to work?
