{ @abstract(The @name unit --- easing command line parsing)
  @author(Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.de>)

  To use this unit, create an object of @link(TOptionParser) and add options to
  it, each option descends from @link(TOption).
  Then, call your object's @link(TOptionParser.ParseOptions)
  method and options are parsed.
  After parsing, examine your option objects. }
