description = '''Create a sparse file.
The first command line argument is the name of the output file. The
second argument is a specification for how the file is to be made
sparse: a sequence of "data" and "hole" words, which may be
interspersed with spaces, commas, or the word "a", all of which are
ignored, except that the "data" and "hole" words must have something
in between them.
