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