  79 // 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping

  81 // 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
  82 // 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)

  85 //
  86 // 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
  87 // 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
  88 // 3. call Parse()
  89 // 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
