/**

 *
 * Argument parsing API.
 *
 * The argument parsing API makes it easy to write user-friendly command-line
 * program. The program defines what arguments it requires,
 * and the API will parse those arguments from [argc, argv].
 *
 * The API provides the following functions:
 * 1) Support parsing optional argument (which could take with no-value,
 *    required-value and optional-value.
 * 2) Support parsing positional argument (which must take with required-value).
 * 3) Support automatic generate usage information.
 * 4) Support issue errors when provided with invalid arguments.
 *
 * There are two ways to parse arguments:
 * 1) AutoSave: for which known value types, the way can be used.
 * 2) Callback: will invoke user callback to parse.
 *
