    * Added 'dirnames' as a completion option

    * Allowed use of -number or -integer to specify numerically indexed -menu

    * Added -keyletters option to extract guarantees and defaults
      from the prompt

      (Thanks Chris!)

    * Tweaked varname in docs (thanks Salvatore)

    * Other doc fixes

    * Made default values echo when selected

    * Fixed -default value handling on -menu prompts
      (disabled constraint-checking on that case)

    * Fixed -keyletters example (-guarantee regex was wrong)

    * Allowed -key and -keys as abbreviations for -keyletters

    * Added -style and -echostyle features

    * Added: use IO::Prompter -argv

0.003000  Thu Jun 14 21:34:33 EST 2012

    * Added lexically scoped automatic options
      (e.g. use IO::Prompter [-yesno, -single])

    * Fixes for -argv mode (especially filename completion)

    * Added -yesno => $count option

    * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Changed behaviour of prompt() in
