gollark: *But* I also don't want it to unnecessarily add `bee/` to stuff if I just do `cyclogon -cf test.cyc bee` (to recursively add the `bee` folder).
gollark: I basically want to be able to say `cyclogon -cf test.cyc bee/apioform.txt bee/apiary.txt` and have it put in `bee/apioform.txt` at the path `bee/apioform.txt` in the archive.
