/**
 * Zend_Console_Getopt is a class to parse options for command-line
 * applications.
 *
 * Terminology:
 * Argument: an element of the argv array.  This may be part of an option,
 *   or it may be a non-option command-line argument.
 * Flag: the letter or word set off by a '-' or '--'.  Example: in '--output filename',
 *   '--output' is the flag.
 * Parameter: the additional argument that is associated with the option.
 *   Example: in '--output filename', the 'filename' is the parameter.
 * Option: the combination of a flag and its parameter, if any.
 *   Example: in '--output filename', the whole thing is the option.
 *
 * The following features are supported:
 *
 * - Short flags like '-a'.  Short flags are preceded by a single
 *   dash.  Short flags may be clustered e.g. '-abc', which is the
 *   same as '-a' '-b' '-c'.
 * - Long flags like '--verbose'.  Long flags are preceded by a
 *   double dash.  Long flags may not be clustered.
 * - Options may have a parameter, e.g. '--output filename'.
 * - Parameters for long flags may also be set off with an equals sign,
 *   e.g. '--output=filename'.
 * - Parameters for long flags may be checked as string, word, or integer.
 * - Automatic generation of a helpful usage message.
 * - Signal end of options with '--'; subsequent arguments are treated
 *   as non-option arguments, even if they begin with '-'.
 * - Raise exception Zend_Console_Getopt_Exception in several cases
 *   when invalid flags or parameters are given.  Usage message is
 *   returned in the exception object.
 *
 * The format for specifying options uses a PHP associative array.
 * The key is has the format of a list of pipe-separated flag names,
 * followed by an optional '=' to indicate a required parameter or
 * '-' to indicate an optional parameter.  Following that, the type
 * of parameter may be specified as 's' for string, 'w' for word,
 * or 'i' for integer.
 *
 * Examples:
 * - 'user|username|u=s'  this means '--user' or '--username' or '-u'
 *   are synonyms, and the option requires a string parameter.
 * - 'p=i'  this means '-p' requires an integer parameter.  No synonyms.
 * - 'verbose|v-i'  this means '--verbose' or '-v' are synonyms, and
 *   they take an optional integer parameter.
 * - 'help|h'  this means '--help' or '-h' are synonyms, and
 *   they take no parameter.
 *
 * The values in the associative array are strings that are used as
 * brief descriptions of the options when printing a usage message.
 *
 * The simpler format for specifying options used by PHP's getopt()
 * function is also supported.  This is similar to GNU getopt and shell
 * getopt format.
 *
 * Example:  'abc:' means options '-a', '-b', and '-c'
 * are legal, and the latter requires a string parameter.

 * @version    Release: @package_version@
 * @since      Class available since Release 0.6.0
 *
 * @todo  Handle params with multiple values, e.g. --colors=red,green,blue
 *        Set value of parameter to the array of values.  Allow user to specify
 *        the separator with Zend_Console_Getopt::CONFIG_PARAMETER_SEPARATOR.
 *        If this config value is null or empty string, do not split values
 *        into arrays.  Default separator is comma (',').
 *
 * @todo  Handle params with multiple values specified with separate options
 *        e.g. --colors red --colors green --colors blue should give one
 *        option with an array(red, green, blue).
 *        Enable with Zend_Console_Getopt::CONFIG_CUMULATIVE_PARAMETERS.
 *        Default is that subsequent options overwrite the parameter value.
 *
 * @todo  Handle flags occurring multiple times, e.g. -v -v -v
 *        Set value of the option's parameter to the integer count of instances
 *        instead of a boolean.
 *        Enable with Zend_Console_Getopt::CONFIG_CUMULATIVE_FLAGS.
 *        Default is that the value is simply boolean true regardless of
 *        how many instances of the flag appear.
 *
 * @todo  Handle flags that implicitly print usage message, e.g. --help
 *
 * @todo  Handle freeform options, e.g. --set-variable
 *        Enable with Zend_Console_Getopt::CONFIG_FREEFORM_FLAGS
 *        All flag-like syntax is recognized, no flag generates an exception.
 *
 * @todo  Handle numeric options, e.g. -1, -2, -3, -1000
 *        Enable with Zend_Console_Getopt::CONFIG_NUMERIC_FLAGS
 *        The rule must specify a named flag and the '#' symbol as the
 *        parameter type. e.g.,  'lines=#'
 *
 * @todo  Enable user to specify header and footer content in the help message.
 *
 * @todo  Feature request to handle option interdependencies.
 *        e.g. if -b is specified, -a must be specified or else the
 *        usage is invalid.
 *
 * @todo  Feature request to implement callbacks.
 *        e.g. if -a is specified, run function 'handleOptionA'().
