73// wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing command line.
74//
75// It has the following features:
76//
77// 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
78// 2. allows both short and long options
79// 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
80// 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
81//
82// To use it you should:
83//
84// 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
85// 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
86// 3. call Parse()
87// 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
