    /** Command line parser class. Main requirements were:
        - Powerful enough to support all common uses.
        - Simple and easy to learn/use.
        - Minimal code size and external dependencies.
        - Extensible for custom syntaxes.

        First all options are registered. After that, elements of command line
        are extracted using operator++. 

        For each element, user can find
        - if it's an option or an argument
        - name of the option
        - index of the option
        - option value(s), if any
        
        Sometimes the registered option name is not equal to the encountered
        one, for example, because name abbreviation is supported.  Therefore
        two option names can be obtained: 
        - the registered one 
        - the one found at the command line

        There are lot of style options, which can be used to tune the command
        line parsing. In addition, it's possible to install additional parser
        which will process custom option styles.

        @todo mininal match length for guessing?
