// Provides a simple class, |CommandLine|, for dealing with command lines (and
// flags and positional arguments).
//
// * Options (a.k.a. flags or switches) are all of the form "--name=<value>" (or
//   "--name", but this is indistinguishable from "--name="), where <value> is a
//   string. Not supported: "-name", "-n", "--name <value>", "-n <value>", etc.
// * Option order is preserved.
// * Option processing is stopped after the first positional argument[*]. Thus
//   in the command line "my_program --foo bar --baz", only "--foo" is an option
//   ("bar" and "--baz" are positional arguments).
// * Options can be looked up by name. If the same option occurs multiple times,
//   convention is to use the last occurrence (and the provided look-up
//   functions behave this way).
// * "--" may also be used to separate options from positional arguments. Thus
//   in the command line "my_program --foo -- --bar", "--bar" is a positional
//   argument.
// * |CommandLine|s store |argv[0]| and distinguish between not having |argv[0]|
//   and |argv[0]| being empty.
// * Apart from being copyable and movable, |CommandLine|s are immutable.
//
// There are factory functions to turn raw arguments into |CommandLine|s, in
// accordance with the above rules. However, |CommandLine|s may be used more
// generically (with the user transforming arguments using different rules,
// e.g., accepting "-name" as an option), subject to certain limitations (e.g.,
// not being able to distinguish "no value" from "empty value").
//
// [*] This is somewhat annoying for users, but: a. it's standard Unix behavior
// for most command line parsers, b. it makes "my_program *" (etc.) safer (which
// mostly explains a.), c. it makes parsing "subcommands", like "my_program
// --flag_for_my_program subcommand --flag_for_subcommand" saner.
