I am quoting from the home page.

A tiny wrapper over ruby’s awesome OptionParser (standard) which gives 
easy facility of subcommands. It has a similar interface to git and 
prints subcommands summary as well.

Options parsers are lazy-loaded thanks to a suggestion and sample code 
by Robert Klemme on ruby-forum.org. If your program already uses 
OptionParser, then one merely needs to add a line above each option 
declaration — no rewriting required since all OptionParser syntax is 
valid syntax for `subcommand`.

This wrapper adds the `description` attr to what OptionParser already 
provides.
--------------------
I have not looked at the code for some months, will have to do so to 
answer your question properly.
