[request] Parse a script using the library

[mtekman]

Hi, I have just discovered this fantastic tool -- but can not currently use it in my tool generation since it covers too many functions I make no reference to.

Would it be possible to parse a script instead? Each line of the script would make reference to a function in the library, and the appropriate XML would be generated in the right order.

If the function cannot be found, then it could try to retrieve the information from a secondary library or a tertiary one.

This is a great idea!

I have made a small skeleton repo of the kind of thing I am looking for: https://github.com/mtekman/rscript2galaxy

Is this something you would be interested in implementing?

How about just merging the <command>, <inputs>, and <outputs> sections? Maybe adding prefixes to the variables...?
