/**
 * Interface for parsing options from a single options specification class.
 *
 * The {@link Options#parse(Class, String...)} method in this class has no clear
 * use case. Instead, use the {@link OptionsParser} class directly, as in this
 * code snippet:
 *
 *  * OptionsParser parser = OptionsParser.newOptionsParser(FooOptions.class);
 * try {
 *   parser.parse(FooOptions.class, args);
 * } catch (OptionsParsingException e) {
 *   System.err.print("Error parsing options: " + e.getMessage());
 *   System.err.print(options.getUsage());
 *   System.exit(1);
 * }
 * FooOptions foo = parser.getOptions(FooOptions.class);
 * List<String> otherArguments = parser.getResidue();
 * 
 *
 * Using this class in this case actually results in more code.
 *
 * @see OptionsParser for parsing options from multiple options specification classes.
