[chef] Knife plugin options

[Gregory Symons < >]

Hi!

I'm trying to write a plugin that wraps the knife-ec2 plugin, and I want 
my commands to have pretty much the same options--the only thing I'm 
really changing is the workflow. Is there an easy way to merge my 
options with the knife-ec2 options? I've tried the following:

module MyPlugin
    class WrappedEc2ServerCreate < Chef::Knife
        def self.options
            Chef::Knife::Ec2ServerCreate.options
        end
    end
end

But when I do that, I lose the global options. I've also tried 
subclassing Chef::Knife::Ec2ServerCreate, but that doesn't quite give me 
the control I need, so I'd rather do things with composition.

Thanks for your help.
