/**
* This class provides basic command line handling for most examples.
*
* Most Paludis clients should support at least '--help', '--version'
* and '--log-level'. If paludis::EnvironmentFactory is used to create
* the environment then '--environment' must also be an option.
*
* Clients are free to use whichever command line handling library they
* prefer, but for convenience all Paludis core clients use a common utility
* library with a much simpler interface than that provided by overly C-ish
* getopt derivatives.
*
* The command line is a singleton -- that is, only one instance of
* it exists globally. This avoids the need to pass around lots of
* parameters.
