/** A simple command-line option parser and help utility
 *
 * Utility class to specify a program's command-line options arguments, produce a help message
 * explaining how they work, and parse user's command line input (producing useful errors messages
 * if any problems arise).  Loosely (okay, very loosely) inspired by boost program_options.
 *
 * Options are specified by a comma-separated namestring.  An option named "foo,f" can be specified
 * three ways on the command line: "-f val", "--foo val", or "--foo=val".  The types of options
 * and arguments are specified by function templates.  Valid template values for positional argument
 * and options are int, double, and std::string.  void may also be used in options, and it indicates
 * a command line option that does not take an argument.
 *
 * Example usage:
 * ProgOptions po( "Example usage of ProgOptions" );
 * po.addOpt<void>( "verbose,v", "Turn on verbose messages" );
 * po.addOpt<std::string> ("foo", "Specify the foo string" );
 * int x = 0;
 * po.addOpt<int>( ",x", "Specify the x number", &x ); // x will be automatically set when options parsed
 * po.parseCommandLine( argc, argv );
 * bool verbose = po.numOptSet("verbose") > 0;
 * std::string foo;
 * if( !po.getOpt( "foo", &foo ) )
 *    foo = "default";
 * ...
 *
 * See the file dagmc_preproc.cpp in the dagmc directory for a real-world example.
