Go library to detect starting from Windows Explorer

mousetrap is a tiny Go library that answers a single question: On a Windows machine, was the process invoked by someone double clicking on the executable file while browsing in Explorer?

Motivation: Windows users unfamiliar with command line tools will often "double-click" the executable for a tool. Because most CLI tools print the help and then exit when invoked without arguments, this is often very frustrating for those users.

mousetrap provides a way to detect these invocations so that you can provide more helpful behavior and instructions on how to run the CLI tool.
