(** The [mk_*] functions declare command line options, while [parse] parses then according to the
declared options.
The arguments of the declaration functions are largely treated uniformly:
- [long] declares the option [--long]
- [short] declares the option [-short] as an alias
- [deprecated] declares the option [-key] as an alias, for each [key] in [deprecated]
- [default] specifies the default value
- [default_to_string] is used to document the default value
- [f] specifies a transformation to be performed on the parsed value before setting the config
variable
- [symbols] is an association list sometimes used in place of [f]
- [exes] declares that the option should be included in the external documentation (--help) for
each [exe] in [exes], otherwise it appears only in --help-full
- [meta] is a meta-variable naming the parsed value for documentation purposes
- a documentation string

(** [mk_bool long short doc] defines a [bool ref] set by the command line flag [--long] (and
[-short]), and cleared by the flag [--no-long] (and [-nshort]). If [long] already has a "no-",
or [short] nas an "n", prefix, then the existing prefixes will instead be removed. The default
value is [false] unless overridden by [~default:true]. The [doc] string will be prefixed with
either "Activates:" or "Deactivates:", so should be phrased accordingly. *)

element of [symbols]. *)

(** [parse env_var exe_usage] parses command line arguments as specified by preceding calls to the
[mk_*] functions, and returns a function that prints the usage message and help text then exits.
The decoded value of environment variable [env_var] is prepended to [Sys.argv] before parsing.
Therefore arguments passed on the command line supercede those specified in the environment
variable. WARNING: If an argument appears both in the environment variable and on the command
line, it will be interpreted twice. *)
