//! Clappers - Command Line Argument Parsing Particularly Easy, Relatively Straightforward!
//!
//! `Clappers` aims to be the most user-friendly command line argument parser this side of the
//! Milky Way. You configure a `Clappers` parser with the command line arguments you care about
//! via chaining, with the last link in the chain being a call to `parse()`. Command line argument
//! values are then retrieved via getters on the `Clappers` parser.
//!
//! ## Example 1 - A Minimal Directory Listing
//!
//! ```
//! use clappers::Clappers;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! let clappers = Clappers::build()
//! .set_flags(vec![
//! "h|help",
//! "l",
//! "R|recursive",
//! ])
//! .parse();
//!
//! if clappers.get_flag("help") {
//! println!("
//! usage: ls [arguments] [FILE1]...
//!
//! Arguments:
//! -h|--help Print this help
//! -l Use a long listing format
//! -R|--recursive List subdirectories recursively
//! ");
//! }
//!
//! if clappers.get_flag("l") {
//! // Show more details than usual
//! }
//!
//! if clappers.get_flag("R") {
//! // Recurse into subdirectories
//! }
//!
//! if clappers.get_flag("recursive") {
//! // This will also recurse
//! }
//!
//! let filenames: Vec<String> = clappers.get_leftovers();
//!
//! // ...
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Example 2 - A Minimal Compiler
//!
//! ```
//! use clappers::Clappers;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! let clappers = Clappers::build()
//! .set_flags(vec![
//! "h|help",
//! "v|verbose",
//! ])
//! .set_singles(vec![
//! "o|output",
//! ])
//! .set_multiples(vec![
//! "i|input",
//! "I",
//! "L",
//! ])
//! .parse();
//!
//! if clappers.get_flag("help") {
//! println!("
//! usage: compile [arguments]
//!
//! Arguments:
//! -h|--help Print this help
//! -v|--verbose Enable verbose mode
//! -I <dir1> ... <dirN> Include directories
//! -L <dir1> ... <dirN> Library directories
//! -i|--input <file1> ... <fileN> Input filenames
//! -o|--output filename Output filename
//! ");
//! }
//!
//! let output_filename = clappers.get_single("output");
//! let input_filenames: Vec<String> = clappers.get_multiple("input");
//!
//! // ...
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Argument Types
//!
//! There are four types of arguments:
//!
//! 1. Flags
//! 2. Single value
//! 3. Multiple value
//! 4. Leftovers
//!
//! ## 1. Flag Arguments
//!
//! Flag arguments are `true` if they were supplied on the command line, and `false` otherwise e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! -h
//! --help
//! -v
//! --verbose
//!```
//!
//! *Note:* flag arguments do not take values
//!
//! ## 2. Single Value Arguments
//!
//! Single value arguments contain a single `String` value if they were supplied on the command
//! line, and empty `String` otherwise e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! -o filename.txt
//! --output filename.txt
//! -u Zelensky
//! --username Zelensky
//!```
//!
//! ## 3. Multiple Value Arguments
//!
//! Multiple value arguments contain at least a single `String` value if they were supplied on the
//! command line, and empty `String` otherwise e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! -i file1.txt
//! --input file1.txt
//! --host host1
//!```
//!
//! They can also contain multiple values, by repetition on the command line e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! -i file1.txt -i file2.txt ... -i fileN.txt
//! --host host1 --host host2 ... --host hostN
//!```
//!
//! The following format also works, reading from the first value until either the next argument is
//! reached, or until the end of the entire command line arguments e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! -i file1.txt file2.txt ... fileN.txt -n next_argument
//! --host host1 host2 hostN
//!```
//!
//! ## 4. Leftover Arguments
//!
//! Leftover argument values are values supplied on the command line that are not associated with
//! any argument. These includes:
//!
//! - any values when no other argument types have been supplied e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! ls file1 file2... fileN
//!```
//!
//! - any values after the double-dash argument e.g:
//!
//!```ignore
//! ls -l -R -- file1 file2... fileN`
//!```
//!
//! - any value supplied to flags, because flags do not accept values
//!
//! - any remaining values supplied to singles value arguments, because these only take a one value
//!
//! # Caveats
//!
//! - Combining flags is currently unsupported i.e the following does not work:
//!
//!```ignore
//! tar -zcf filename.tar.gz *
//!```
//!
//! - Equals-Value is currently unsupported i.e the following does not work:
//!
//!```ignore
//! tar -zc --file=filename.tar.gz
//!```
//!
//! - Commands with their own separate `Clappers` parser is currently unsupported i.e the following
//! does not work:
//!
//!```ignore
//! apt-get -y install -f cargo
//! apt-get update -f
//!```
//!
//! - Command line argument values are always `String` types. This was by design, and no convenience
//! functions are planned. To convert a `String` to something else, use `String`'s build-in
//! `parse()` function instead:
//!
//!```
//! use clappers::Clappers;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! let clappers = Clappers::build()
//! .set_singles(vec!["number"])
//! .parse();
//!
//! let number: i32 = clappers.get_single("number").parse().unwrap_or(0);
//!
//! println!("Double {number} is {}", number * 2);
//! }
//!```
//!
