While fiddling with #25, I ran into an issue where sub_app_rm keeps getting selected instead of sub_app_secret_rm based on the (delete|rm) argument which is determined by the logic in the abra function. It's a bit magic in there.

Following the https://github.com/andsens/docopt.sh docs I came up with the following approach for matching parsed CLI input against subcommand functions:

  if [ ${abra_app} ] && [ ${abra_secret} ] && [ ${abra_rm} ]; then
    sub_app_secret_delete ${abra__args_[*]}
    return
  fi

Then we manually iterate out all the matches ourselves. I like our one script approach and not having to manage multiple DOC="..." is a bonus for me. Having to write everything out ourselves is a bit gack but that seems to be the trade-off.
