/**
 * Simple command line parsing utility.
 * 
 * <p>
 * The parser can only handle parameters that take 0 or 1 arguments. That is, you can parse command
 * lines like
 * 
 * <pre>
 *    doit -f -i file1 -o file2 --dir file3 /h file4 file5 file6
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <p>
 * The syntax of parameters is left to the user, no common prefix is assumed or enforced. Parameter
 * names can be arbitrarily long. You can define aliases for parameters: <code>-h</code>,
 * <code>/H</code> and <code>--help</code> can all mean the same parameter if so configured.
