45 /// Type-less base option class.
46 ///
47 /// This abstract class provides the most generic representation of options.  It
48 /// allows defining options with both short and long names, with and without
49 /// arguments and with and without optional values.  These are all the possible
50 /// combinations supported by the getopt_long(3) function, on which this is
51 /// built.
52 ///
53 /// The internal values (e.g. the default value) of a generic option are all
54 /// represented as strings.  However, from the caller's perspective, this is
55 /// suboptimal.  Hence why this class must be specialized: the subclasses
56 /// provide type-specific accessors and provide automatic validation of the
57 /// types (e.g. a string '3foo' is not passed to an integer option).
58 ///
59 /// Given that subclasses are used through templatized code, they must provide:
60 ///
61 /// <ul>
62 ///     <li>A public option_type typedef that defines the type of the
63 ///     option.</li>
64 ///
65 ///     <li>A convert() method that takes a string and converts it to
66 ///     option_type.  The string can be assumed to be convertible to the
67 ///     destination type.  Should not raise exceptions.</li>
68 ///
69 ///     <li>A validate() method that matches the implementation of convert().
70 ///     This method can throw option_argument_value_error if the string cannot
71 ///     be converted appropriately.  If validate() does not throw, then
72 ///     convert() must execute successfully.</li>
73 /// </ul>
74 ///
75 /// TODO(jmmv): Many methods in this class are split into two parts: has_foo()
76 /// and foo(), the former to query if the foo is available and the latter to get
77 /// the foo.  It'd be very nice if we'd use something similar Boost.Optional to
78 /// simplify this interface altogether.
