+/// The abstract representation of a command line argument. Used to set all the options and
+/// relationships that define a valid argument for the program.
+///
+/// There are two methods for constructing [`Arg`]s, using the builder pattern and setting options
+/// manually, or using a usage string which is far less verbose but has fewer options. You can also
+/// use a combination of the two methods to achieve the best of both worlds.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # use clap::Arg;
+/// // Using the traditional builder pattern and setting each option manually
+/// let cfg = Arg::with_name("config")
+/// .short("c")
+/// .long("config")
+/// .takes_value(true)
+/// .value_name("FILE")
+/// .help("Provides a config file to myprog");
+/// // Using a usage string (setting a similar argument to the one above)
+/// let input = Arg::from_usage("-i, --input=[FILE] 'Provides an input file to the program'");

+ ///
+ /// **NOTE**: Only ASCII values are officially supported in [`Arg::from_usage`] strings. Some
+ /// UTF-8 codepoints may work just fine, but this is not guaranteed.
+ ///
+ /// # Syntax
+ ///
+ /// Usage strings typically following the form:
+ ///
+ /// ```notrust
+ /// [explicit name] [short] [long] [value names] [help string]
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// This is not a hard rule as the attributes can appear in other orders. There are also
+ /// several additional sigils which denote additional settings. Below are the details of each
+ /// portion of the string.
+ ///
+ /// ### Explicit Name
+ ///
+ /// This is an optional field, if it's omitted the argument will use one of the additional
+ /// fields as the name using the following priority order:
+ ///
+ /// * Explicit Name (This always takes precedence when present)
+ /// * Long
+ /// * Short
+ /// * Value Name
+ ///
+ /// `clap` determines explicit names as the first string of characters between either `[]` or
+ /// `<>` where `[]` has the dual notation of meaning the argument is optional, and `<>` meaning
+ /// the argument is required.
+ ///
+ /// Explicit names may be followed by:
+ /// * The multiple denotation `...`
+ ///
+ /// Example explicit names as follows (`ename` for an optional argument, and `rname` for a
+ /// required argument):
+ ///
+ /// ```notrust
+ /// [ename] -s, --long 'some flag'
+ /// <rname> -r, --longer 'some other flag'
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// ### Short
+ ///
+ /// This is set by placing a single character after a leading `-`.
+ ///
+ /// Shorts may be followed by
+ /// * The multiple denotation `...`
+ /// * An optional comma `,` which is cosmetic only
+ /// * Value notation
+ ///
+ /// Example shorts are as follows (`-s`, and `-r`):
+ ///
+ /// ```notrust
+ /// -s, --long 'some flag'
+ /// <rname> -r [val], --longer 'some option'
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// ### Long
+ ///
+ /// This is set by placing a word (no spaces) after a leading `--`.
+ ///
+ /// Shorts may be followed by
+ /// * The multiple denotation `...`
+ /// * Value notation
+ ///
+ /// Example longs are as follows (`--some`, and `--rapid`):
+ ///
+ /// ```notrust
+ /// -s, --some 'some flag'
+ /// --rapid=[FILE] 'some option'
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// ### Values (Value Notation)
+ ///
+ /// This is set by placing a word(s) between `[]` or `<>` optionally after `=` (although this
+ /// is cosmetic only and does not affect functionality). If an explicit name has **not** been
+ /// set, using `<>` will denote a required argument, and `[]` will denote an optional argument
+ ///
+ /// Values may be followed by
+ /// * The multiple denotation `...`
+ /// * More Value notation
+ ///
+ /// More than one value will also implicitly set the arguments number of values, i.e. having
+ /// two values, `--option [val1] [val2]` specifies that in order for option to be satisified it
+ /// must receive exactly two values
+ ///
+ /// Example values are as follows (`FILE`, and `SPEED`):
+ ///
+ /// ```notrust
+ /// -s, --some [FILE] 'some option'
+ /// --rapid=<SPEED>... 'some required multiple option'
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// ### Help String
+ ///
+ /// The help string is denoted between a pair of single quotes `''` and may contain any
+ /// characters.
+ ///
+ /// Example help strings are as follows:
+ ///
+ /// ```notrust
+ /// -s, --some [FILE] 'some option'
+ /// --rapid=<SPEED>... 'some required multiple option'
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// ### Additional Sigils
+ ///
+ /// Multiple notation `...` (three consecutive dots/periods) specifies that this argument may
+ /// be used multiple times. Do not confuse multiple occurrences (`...`) with multiple values.
+ /// `--option val1 val2` is a single occurrence with multiple values. `--flag --flag` is
+ /// multiple occurrences (and then you can obviously have instances of both as well)
+ ///
+ /// # Examples
+ ///
+ /// ```rust
+ /// # use clap::{App, Arg};
+ /// App::new("prog")
+ /// .args(&[
+ /// Arg::from_usage("--config <FILE> 'a required file for the configuration and no short'"),
+ /// Arg::from_usage("-d, --debug... 'turns on debugging information and allows multiples'"),
+ /// Arg::from_usage("[input] 'an optional input file to use'")

+ /// arguments, in which case `clap` simply will not assign those to the auto-generated
+ /// `version` or `help` arguments.
