/*
 * `type`::
 *   holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
 *   array.
 *
 * `short_name`::
 *   the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
 *
 * `long_name`::
 *   the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
 *
 * `value`::
 *   stores pointers to the values to be filled.
 *
 * `argh`::
 *   token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
 *   homogeneous across the repository.
 *
 * `help`::
 *   the short help associated to what the option does.
 *   Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
 *   OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
 *
 * `flags`::
 *   mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
 *   PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optional (not for BOOLEANs)
 *   PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument
 *   PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
 *   PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN: this option is skipped in the default usage, and
 *                     shown only in the full usage.
 *   PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: says that this option will take the default
 *				value if no argument is given when the option
 *				is last on the command line. If the option is
 *				not last it will require an argument.
 *				Should not be used with PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
 *   PARSE_OPT_NODASH: this option doesn't start with a dash.
 *   PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP: says that argh shouldn't be enclosed in brackets
 *				(i.e. '<argh>') in the help message.
 *				Useful for options with multiple parameters.
 *   PARSE_OPT_NEGHELP: says that the long option should always be shown with
 *				the --no prefix in the usage message. Sometimes
 *				useful for users of OPTION_NEGBIT.
 *
 * `callback`::
 *   pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
 *
 * `defval`::
 *   default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
 *   OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
 *   the value when met.
 *   CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
