   -t             trace execution for debugging
   -O             optimize code
   -C             translate into C (to stdout)

Standard operators: <>+-[].,
Extensions:
            ciuox - change i/o format (same as -c & others above)

            #     - comment to the end of line (useful when reading files)

Examples:
 echo '+++[.-]' | ./brainfuck # count down from 3 to 1
 echo ',+++.;5' | ./brainfuck # shows 8
 echo ',>,<[->+<]>.;4 5' | ./brainfuck # shows 4+5=9
 echo 'c,u.;h' | ./brainfuck # shows 104 (ASCII code for 'h')
 echo ', [-[->+<]>];4' | ./brainfuck -t # move data pointer by 4 
 echo ',>,< [> [->+<] < -[->+<]> ]; 3 7' | ./brainfuck -t # move '7' by 3
