// Example for Common C++ the command line parser interface.
//
//
// This exmaple code shows how to use the command line parser provided by
// CommonC++. The command line parser provides an interface which is
// "object oriented" such that command line parameters are true "objects".
//
// Each command line option needs to be created. By defining "CommandOption"s
// statically, the C++ constructor is called when the objects are loaded and
// before the "main" function is called. The constructor links itself to
// a list of other CommandOptionXXX in the list provided. If no
// list is specified in the constructor, a default one is used. Because of
// the undefined nature as to the order in which constructors are called,
// no assumption as to the order in which the CommandOptionXXX constructors
// are called should be made.
//
// CommandOptionXXX classes can be used to derive specialized parameter
// classes that are specific to applications. The second example shows
// just how this can be done.
//
//
