ShortName rune
// The long name of the option. If not "", the option flag can be

LongName string
// The description of the option flag. This description is shown

Description string

Default []string
// If true, specifies that the argument to an option flag is optional.
// When no argument to the flag is specified on the command line, the
// value of Default will be set in the field this option represents.
// This is only valid for non-boolean options.
OptionalArgument bool
// The optional value of the option. The optional value is used when
// the option flag is marked as having an OptionalArgument. This means
// that when the flag is specified, but no option argument is given,
// the value of the field this option represents will be set to
// OptionalValue. This is only valid for non-boolean options.
OptionalValue []string
// If true, the option _must_ be specified on the command line. If the

Required bool
