Features

OptionSet currently supports:

• Boolean options of the form: -flag, --flag, and /flag. Boolean parameters can have a `+' or `-' appended to explicitly enable or disable the flag (in the same fashion as mcs -debug+). For boolean callbacks, the provided value is non-null for enabled, and null for disabled.
• Value options with a required value (append `=' to the option name) or an optional value (append `:' to the option name). The option value can either be in the current option (--opt=value) or in the following parameter (--opt value). The actual value is provided as the parameter to the callback delegate, unless it's (1) optional and (2) missing, in which case null is passed.
• Bundled parameters which must start with a single `-' and consists of only single characters. In this manner, -abc would be a shorthand for -a -b -c.
• Option processing is disabled when -- is encountered.
