Bug Description

The example in this help page, gcalcli --help, gives the wrong syntax:

add add a detailed event to a calendar
                           - a single --calendar must specified
                           - the "--details url" option will show the event link
                           - example:
                              gcalcli --calendar 'Eric Davis'
                                      --title 'Analysis of Algorithms Final'
                                      --where UCI
                                      --when '12/14/2012 10:00'
                                      --who '<email address hidden>'
                                      --who '<email address hidden>'
                                      --duration 60
                                      --description 'It is going to be hard!'
                                      --reminder 30
                                      add

Having `add` at the end or wherever did not matter in previous versions. However, now the program requires the `add` to be placed after `--calendar` and before `--title` etc.

According to already closed issue: https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/issues/501

There's a new way of defining a detailed event. Version 4.0.0a4 still has the old help, but in 4.0.1 is a new one. I recommend add a new version of gcalcli to the package repo.

Howdy,

Versions greater than 4.0.1 are in the last LTS and onwards, so it seems this bug has been fixed. Thanks!
