/**
* Parses command line arguments, using a syntax that attempts to take from the best of POSIX {@code getopt()}
* and GNU {@code getopt_long()}.
*
* This parser supports short options and long options.
*
*
* - Short options begin with a single hyphen ("{@code -}") followed by a single letter or digit,
* or question mark ("{@code ?}"), or dot ("{@code .}"), or underscore ("{@code _}").
*
* - Short options can accept single arguments. The argument can be made required or optional. The option's
* argument can occur:
*
* - in the slot after the option, as in {@code -d /tmp}
* - right up against the option, as in {@code -d/tmp}
* - right up against the option separated by an equals sign ({@code "="}), as in {@code -d=/tmp}
*
* To specify n arguments for an option, specify the option n times, once for each argument,
* as in {@code -d /tmp -d /var -d /opt}; or, when using the
* {@linkplain ArgumentAcceptingOptionSpec#withValuesSeparatedBy(char) "separated values"} clause of the "fluent
* interface" (see below), give multiple values separated by a given character as a single argument to the
* option.
*
* - Short options can be clustered, so that {@code -abc} is treated as {@code -a -b -c}. If a short option
* in the cluster can accept an argument, the remaining characters are interpreted as the argument for that
* option.
*
* - An argument consisting only of two hyphens ({@code "--"}) signals that the remaining arguments are to be
* treated as non-options.
*
* - An argument consisting only of a single hyphen is considered a non-option argument (though it can be an
* argument of an option). Many Unix programs treat single hyphens as stand-ins for the standard input or standard
* output streams.
*
* - Long options begin with two hyphens ({@code "--"}), followed by multiple letters, digits,
* hyphens, question marks, or dots. A hyphen cannot be the first character of a long option specification when
* configuring the parser.
*
* - You can abbreviate long options, so long as the abbreviation is unique. Suppress this behavior if
* you wish using {@linkplain OptionParser#OptionParser(boolean) this constructor}.
*
* - Long options can accept single arguments. The argument can be made required or optional. The option's
* argument can occur:
*
* - in the slot after the option, as in {@code --directory /tmp}
* - right up against the option separated by an equals sign ({@code "="}), as in
* {@code --directory=/tmp}
*
* Specify multiple arguments for a long option in the same manner as for short options (see above).
*
* - You can use a single hyphen ({@code "-"}) instead of a double hyphen ({@code "--"}) for a long
* option.
*
* - The option {@code -W} is reserved. If you tell the parser to {@linkplain
* #recognizeAlternativeLongOptions(boolean) recognize alternative long options}, then it will treat, for example,
* {@code -W foo=bar} as the long option {@code foo} with argument {@code bar}, as though you had written
* {@code --foo=bar}.
*
* - You can specify {@code -W} as a valid short option, or use it as an abbreviation for a long option, but
* {@linkplain #recognizeAlternativeLongOptions(boolean) recognizing alternative long options} will always supersede
* this behavior.
*
* - You can specify a given short or long option multiple times on a single command line. The parser collects
* any arguments specified for those options as a list.
*
* - If the parser detects an option whose argument is optional, and the next argument "looks like" an option,
* that argument is not treated as the argument to the option, but as a potentially valid option. If, on the other
* hand, the optional argument is typed as a derivative of {@link Number}, then that argument is treated as the
* negative number argument of the option, even if the parser recognizes the corresponding numeric option.
* For example:
*
* OptionParser parser = new OptionParser();
* parser.accepts( "a" ).withOptionalArg().ofType( Integer.class );
* parser.accepts( "2" );
* OptionSet options = parser.parse( "-a", "-2" );
*
* In this case, the option set contains {@code "a"} with argument {@code -2}, not both {@code "a"} and
* {@code "2"}. Swapping the elements in the args array gives the latter.
*
*
* There are two ways to tell the parser what options to recognize:
*
*
* - A "fluent interface"-style API for specifying options, available since version 2. Sentences in this fluent
* interface language begin with a call to {@link #accepts(String) accepts} or {@link #acceptsAll(List)
* acceptsAll} methods; calls on the ensuing chain of objects describe whether the options can take an argument,
* whether the argument is required or optional, to what type arguments of the options should be converted if any,
* etc. Since version 3, these calls return an instance of {@link OptionSpec}, which can subsequently be used to
* retrieve the arguments of the associated option in a type-safe manner.
*
* - Since version 1, a more concise way of specifying short options has been to use the special {@linkplain
* #OptionParser(String) constructor}. Arguments of options specified in this manner will be of type {@link String}.
* Here are the rules for the format of the specification strings this constructor accepts:
*
*
* - Any letter or digit is treated as an option character.
*
* - An option character can be immediately followed by an asterisk ({@code *)} to indicate that
* the option is a "help" option.
*
* - If an option character (with possible trailing asterisk) is followed by a single colon ({@code ":"}),
* then the option requires an argument.
*
* - If an option character (with possible trailing asterisk) is followed by two colons ({@code "::"}),
* then the option accepts an optional argument.
*
* - Otherwise, the option character accepts no argument.
*
* - If the option specification string begins with a plus sign ({@code "+" }), the parser will behave
* "POSIX-ly correct".
*
* - If the option specification string contains the sequence {@code "W;"} (capital W followed by a
* semicolon), the parser will recognize the alternative form of long options.
*
*
*
*
* Each of the options in a list of options given to {@link #acceptsAll(List) acceptsAll} is treated as a
* synonym of the others. For example:
*
*
* OptionParser parser = new OptionParser();
* parser.acceptsAll( asList( "w", "interactive", "confirmation" ) );
* OptionSet options = parser.parse( "-w" );
*
*
* In this case, options.{@link OptionSet#has(String) has} would answer {@code true} when given arguments
* {@code "w"}, {@code "interactive"}, and {@code "confirmation"}. The {@link OptionSet} would give the same
* responses to these arguments for its other methods as well.
*
* By default, as with GNU {@code getopt()}, the parser allows intermixing of options and non-options. If, however,
* the parser has been created to be "POSIX-ly correct", then the first argument that does not look lexically like an
* option, and is not a required argument of a preceding option, signals the end of options. You can still bind
* optional arguments to their options using the abutting (for short options) or {@code =} syntax.
*
* Unlike GNU {@code getopt()}, this parser does not honor the environment variable {@code POSIXLY_CORRECT}.
* "POSIX-ly correct" parsers are configured by either:
*
*
* - using the method {@link #posixlyCorrect(boolean)}, or
*
* - using the {@linkplain #OptionParser(String) constructor} with an argument whose first character is a plus sign
* ({@code "+"})
*
