pupcheck file commands

The pupcheck file consists of a number of one-word commands, followed by the arguments to that command. If the command takes a free text argument, this will be the last argument and will consist of the rest of the line.

The command is case insensitive, so you can use camelCase.

# This is a comment but only if # is first character

If your selector has a space due to choosing a child element, wrap in parentheses.
