Features that are on the radar for improving ZIPPY:

• Use argparse to make the interfaces to make_params / zippy have built in help. (added)
• Advanced help that can determine what modules are available and return their docstrings. (added)
• Non consecutive chaining inferred by output type
• Easy importing of new modules from different files (added)
• Validation of pipeline stages based on I/O formats
• Parameter system improvements: lower level parameters overwrite higher level parameters (added)
