93 // 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
94 // 2. allows both short and long options
95 // 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
96 // 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
97 //
98 // To use it you should:
99 //
100 // 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
101 // 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
102 // 3. call Parse()
103 // 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
