/**
 * @brief
 * There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and
 * naming things (Phil Karlton).
 *
 * The names of types have to be succinct and clear. This has turned out to be
 * a more difficult thing than I expected. Here you'll find a quick overview of
 * the type names you'll find in this namespace (and thus "library").
 *
 * When a program is invoked it is passed a number of "command line arguments".
 * Each of these "arguments" is a string (C-string to be more precise). An
 * "option" is a command line argument that has special meaning. This library
 * recognizes a command line argument as a potential option if it starts with a
 * dash ('-') or double-dash ('--').
 *
 * A "parser" is a set of "definitions" (not a literal std::set but rather a
 * std::vector). A parser is represented by the argagg::parser struct.
 *
 * A "definition" is a structure with four components that define what
 * "options" are recognized. The four components are the name of the option,
 * the strings that represent the option, the option's help text, and how many
 * arguments the option should expect. "Flags" are the individual strings that
 * represent the option ("-v" and "--verbose" are flags for the "verbose"
 * option). A definition is represented by the argagg::definition struct.
 *
 * Note at this point that the word "option" can be used interchangeably to
 * mean the notion of an option and the actual instance of an option given a
 * set of command line arguments. To be unambiguous we use a "definition" to
 * represent the notion of an option and an "option result" to represent an
 * actual option parsed from a set of command line arguments. An "option
 * result" is represented by the argagg::option_result struct.
 *
 * There's one more wrinkle to this: an option can show up multiple times in a
 * given set of command line arguments. For example, "-n 1 -n 2 -n 3". This
 * will parse into three distinct argagg::option_result instances, but all of
 * them correspond to the same argagg::definition. We aggregate these into the
 * argagg::option_results struct which represents "all parser results for a
 * given option definition". This argagg::option_results is basically a
 * std::vector of argagg::option_result.
 *
 * Options aren't the only thing parsed though. Positional arguments are also
 * parsed. Thus a parser produces a result that contains both option results
 * and positional arguments. The parser results are represented by the
 * argagg::parser_results struct. All option results are stored in a mapping
 * from option name to the argagg::option_results. All positional arguments are
 * simply stored in a vector of C-strings.
