where the first three are literal words, `cycle` is a positive integer (0 is
ignored), and `freq` is an integer (default = 0) that's supposed to be in the
range 0..100 (bigger values are allowed, however). Invalid parameters and

position of the word options does not matter, so `./leo right Variable 1 70` is
equivalent to `./leo 0 0 0 1 Variable 70 right`, etc.
