const HELP_MSG = `xeval

Run a script for each new-line or otherwise delimited chunk of standard input.

Print all the usernames in /etc/passwd:
  cat /etc/passwd | deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts "a = $.split(':'); if (a) console.log(a[0])"

A complicated way to print the current git branch:
  git branch | deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts -I 'line' "if (line.startsWith('*')) console.log(line.slice(2))"

Demonstrates breaking the input up by space delimiter instead of by lines:
  cat LICENSE | deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts -d " " "if ($ === 'MIT') console.log('MIT licensed')",

USAGE:
  deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts [OPTIONS] <code>
OPTIONS:
  -d, --delim <delim>       Set delimiter, defaults to newline
  -I, --replvar <replvar>   Set variable name to be used in eval, defaults to $
