[TCLI-3] Change contract to provide access to banner on parse error

Fri, 8 Mar 2013 04:19:03 -0600

If a user provides an invalid option, most applications would want to display the banner.

tools.cli throws an Exception with minimal information, and (banner-for) is marked private.

The exception could be replaced with one that provides access to the banner, but I think it would be better (easier to use, more idiomatic?) to change the contract so that the banner is always returned. Given the exception string is also useful, perhaps change cli to return a map with keys [:options :extra-args :banner :parse-failure]?
