78// wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing command line.
79//
80// It has the following features:
81//
82// 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
83// 2. allows both short and long options
84// 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
85// 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
86//
87// To use it you should:
88//
89// 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
90// 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
91// 3. call Parse()
92// 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
