// Port of python's argparse module, version 3.9.0:
// https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.9.0rc1/Lib/argparse.py

'use strict'

/*
 * Command-line parsing library
 *
 * This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
 *
 *     - handles both optional and positional arguments
 *     - produces highly informative usage messages
 *     - supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
 *
 * The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
 * command-line and writes the result to a file::
 *
 *     parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
 *         description='sum the integers at the command line')
 *     parser.add_argument(
 *         'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
 *         help='an integer to be summed')
 *     parser.add_argument(
 *         '--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
 *         help='the file where the sum should be written')
 *     args = parser.parse_args()
 *     args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
 *     args.log.close()
 *
 * The module contains the following public classes:
 *
 *     - ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
 *         example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
 *         the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
 *         the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
 *         command-line into an object with attributes.
 *
 *     - ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
 *         there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
 *         parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
 *         as command-line messages.
 *
 *     - FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
 *         example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
 *         the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
 *
 *     - Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
 *         selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
 *         the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
 *         customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
 *         be defined and passed as the action= argument.
 *
 *     - HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter,
 *         ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
 *         may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
 *         ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default,
 *         RawDescriptionHelpFormatter and RawTextHelpFormatter tell the parser
 *         not to change the formatting for help text, and
 *         ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter adds information about argument defaults
 *         to the help.
 *
 * All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
 * (Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
 * considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
 * still considered an implementation detail.)

     *
     *  Keyword Arguments:
     *
     *      - option_strings -- A list of command-line option strings which
     *          should be associated with this action.
     *
     *      - dest -- The name of the attribute to hold the created object(s)
     *
     *      - nargs -- The number of command-line arguments that should be
     *          consumed. By default, one argument will be consumed and a single
     *          value will be produced.  Other values include:
     *              - N (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
     *              - '?' consumes zero or one arguments
     *              - '*' consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
     *              - '+' consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
     *          Note that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that
     *          with the default, a single value will be produced, while with
     *          nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced.
     *
     *      - const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the
     *          option uses an action that takes no values.
     *
     *      - default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
     *
     *      - type -- A callable that accepts a single string argument, and
     *          returns the converted value.  The standard Python types str, int,
     *          float, and complex are useful examples of such callables.  If None,
     *          str is used.
     *
     *      - choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None,
     *          after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate
     *          type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this
     *          collection.
     *
     *      - required -- True if the action must always be specified at the
     *          command line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line
     *          arguments.
     *
     *      - help -- The help string describing the argument.
     *
     *      - metavar -- The name to be used for the option's argument with the
     *          help string. If None, the 'dest' value will be used as the name.
