/**
 * Allows callers to specify whether a given option accepts arguments (required or optional).
 *
 * Instances are returned from {@link OptionParser#accepts(String)} to allow the formation of parser directives as
 * sentences in a "fluent interface" language.  For example:
 *
 * 
 *   OptionParser parser = new OptionParser();
 *   parser.accepts( "c" ).withRequiredArg().ofType( Integer.class );
 * 
 *
 * If no methods are invoked on an instance of this class, then that instance's option will accept no argument.
 *
 * Note that you should not use the fluent interface clauses in a way that would defeat the typing of option
 * arguments:
 *
 * 
 *   OptionParser parser = new OptionParser();
 *   ArgumentAcceptingOptionSpec<String> optionC =
 *       parser.accepts( "c" ).withRequiredArg();
 *   optionC.ofType( Integer.class );  // DON'T THROW AWAY THE TYPE!
 *
 *   String value = parser.parse( "-c", "2" ).valueOf( optionC );  // ClassCastException
 *
