// SHORTNAME is the short-name of the option, as a char, or '\0' if the
//    option has no short-name.  If the option has no long-name, you
//    should specify the short-name in *both* VARNAME and here.
// DEFAULT_VALUE is the value of the option if not specified on the

// HELPARG is how you define the argument to the option.
