**dirty details:**
kyaa secretly wraps flag handling in if/else statements with {} blocks.
do not confuse it for a switch/case method.
kyaa uses `continue` to handle certain arguments.

kyaa interprets an argument of `-` as a request to enable reading from stdin:
`kyaa_read_stdin` is set to true.
`kyaa_read_stdin` is set to true. this may be reset by the user if desired.

kyaa prints help text to `stdout` and error messages to `stderr`.
this can be overridden by specifying `KYAA_OUT` and `KYAA_ERR` respectively.
