20          positional arguments:
21            FILE                  The CSV file(s) to operate on. If omitted, will accept
22                                  input on STDIN.

24          optional arguments:
25            -h, --help            show this help message and exit
26            -g GROUPS, --groups GROUPS
27                                  A comma-separated list of values to add as "grouping
28                                  factors", one for each CSV being stacked. These will
29                                  be added to the stacked CSV as a new column. You may
30                                  specify a name for the grouping column using the -n
31                                  flag.

33                                  A name for the grouping column, e.g. "year". Only used
34                                  when also specifying -g.
35            --filenames           Use the filename of each input file as its grouping
36                                  value. When specified, -g will be ignored.
