 * considered a key-value pair. Any arguments which could not be parsed are

 * By default, the flags module tries to determine the type of all arguments

 * signature with `any` as value (`{ [x: string]: any }`).
 *
 * If the `string`, `boolean` or `collect` option is set, the return value of
 * the `parseArgs` method will be fully typed and the index signature of the return
 * type will change to `{ [x: string]: unknown }`.
 *
 * Any arguments after `'--'` will not be parsed and will end up in `parsedArgs._`.
 *
 * Numeric-looking arguments will be returned as numbers unless `options.string`
 * or `options.boolean` is set for that argument name.
