also, this is just an idea so feel free to shoot it down if need be. instead of typing out constantly eack script we

call, like "-script=5" and it runs script #5 in the scripts folder?. just have them numbered 1-whatever. to me, it 
just seems far easier to work with. you could still have output from a debug/script trace that showed you what 
script you were firing off as well
Having them numbered seems awfully arbitrary to me, and will result in
you running the wrong scripts after every update. I don't think that's a
great idea.

A couple ideas, though:
- Have bash autocomplete for script names (not sure how that works, but

This is a great idea I think. How hard would it be to do this for all
of Nmap's options in addition to script names?
