//! This crate provides traits and implementations for parsing command-line arguments.
//! The core of the crate is `ParseArg` trait. It works much like `FromStr` trait, but with
//! these differences:
//! 
//! * It operates on `&OsStr` instead of `&str`, thus allowing wider range of possible inputs.
//! * It provides `parse_owned_arg()` method which can be specialized to avoid allocations.
//! * It requires the implementor to provide `describe_type()` to print human-readable description.
//!   of expected input.
//! * It requires the error type to implement `Display` in order to enable user-friendly interface.
//! 
//! Further, the crate provides `ParseArgFromStr` trait, which causes any type implementing it to
//! auto-implement `ParseArg` trait. This is handy when implementing `ParseArg` for types that
//! already have `FromStr` implemented, so that boilerplate is reduced.
