Let's go with that. I'm not sure if I should be using sub-commands or
options so for now I've used options. UI changes from initial patch:

* Exclusive options for getting the application callable from a script
  (via `exec`) or a module (using `importlib.import_module`)
* Application name specification has been moved to an option (default:
  `application`)
* Option to serve the request only once (default: forever) when mounting
  a custom application
* Option to open a browser window/tab to the (host, port) specified
  (which still default to '' and 8000 respectively)

usage: simple_server.py [-h] [-H HOST] [-p PORT] [-s SCRIPT | -m MODULE]
                        [-a APP] [-1] [-b]

Mount and serve a WSGI application. If no script or module is specified,
mounts wsgiref.simple_server.demo_app

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -H HOST, --host HOST  Host to listen on
  -p PORT, --port PORT  Port to listen on (defaults to 8000)
  -s SCRIPT, --script SCRIPT
                        WSGI script file to execute and get the application
                        from
  -m MODULE, --module MODULE
                        Python module to import and get the application from

Script or module options:
  These options do not apply when mounting the demo_app

  -a APP, --app APP, --app-name APP
                        Name of the application variable in the script or
                        module, application if none is provided
  -1, --once            Only handles a single request, then exits
  -b, --browse          Launch browser to the served URL
