 \class QApplicationArgumentParser
 \brief The QApplicationArgumentParser class parses the command
        line arguments for an application.
 \reentrant
 \internal
 \since 4.4

 QApplicationArgumentParser simplifies writing command line applications by taking care of:

 \list
    \o Generating help and version arguments
    \o Taking care of converting arguments to QVariant types, since each argument
       has a type: QApplicationArgument::type()
    \o Validates the command line such that the user operates on well-defined input. For instance,
       that the argument is a valid integer if that is the case, that an argument does not
       occur more times than allowed, and so on.
    \o Allows customization through sub-classing.
 \endlist

 The user declares what arguments that can be given to the application with QApplicationArgument. Provided
 with that information, QApplicationArgumentParser takes care of parsing the actual
 command line, appropriately flag errors, generate help messages, and provide
 convenient access to the values of the arguments.

 The way to use it is to create a set of QApplicationArgument by ones choosing, call
 addArgument() for each, and subsequently call parse(). If parse() returns \c false,
 the caller should exit and return exitCode().

 If parse() returns \c true the command line was successfully parsed, its
 values are well-defined, and they can be spectated with count(),
 has(), value() and values().

 \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/tools_patternist_qapplicationargumentparser.cpp 0

 For arguments without a name(such as filename passed to the \c ls utility on Linux) add a
 QApplicationArgument that does not have a name. The minimum and maximum occurrences will be
 respected as usual and the type applies too.

 QApplicationArgumentParser always has two options builtin: \c version and \c help.

 \section1 Changing Parsing Convention

 QApplicationArgumentParser by default parses the command line in the style
 of Qt's utilities, where arguments are preceded by a single dash, and identified
 by a single name. However, in some cases it might be of interest to parse
 another style, such as the well-established UNIX \c getopt convention(\c -l
 and \c --long).

 This can be achieved by sub-classing QApplicationArgumentParser and reimplementing
 parse(). It would do the following:

 \list
    \o Call input() to retrieve the strings the user specified on the command line.
    \o Call declaredArguments() to retrieve the arguments that the implementor has
       decided can be specified.
    \o Parse and validate the input. Salt and pepper as per taste.
    \o If an error occurred, call setExitCode() and return \c false.
    \o Otherwise, call setExitCode(Success), provide access to the
       arguments by calling setUsedArguments(), and return \c true. If a
       help message was requested, call setExitCode(Success) and return \c false.
 \endlist
