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

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