+# Ideally, one would do this in their code to import the "xargs" call
+# directly into their current namespace:
+#
+#     require 'xargs'
+#     include XArgs
+#     # do something with xargs()
+#
+#
+# It is recommended that you look at the documentation for the xargs()
+# call directly for specific usage.
