// This is not a general-purpose argument parser. It is tightly crafted to work with qpdf. qpdf's
// command-line syntax is very complex because of its long history, and it doesn't really follow any
// kind of normal standard for arguments, but it's important for backward compatibility to ensure we
// don't break what constitutes a valid command. This class handles the quirks of qpdf's argument
// parsing, bash/zsh completion, and support for @argfile to read arguments from a file. For the
// qpdf CLI, setup of QPDFArgParser is done mostly by automatically-generated code (one-off code for
// qpdf), though the handlers themselves are hand-coded. See generate_auto_job at the top of the
// source tree for details.

    // Methods for registering arguments. QPDFArgParser starts off with the main option table
    // selected. You can add handlers for arguments in the current option table, and you can select
    // which option table is current. The help option table is special and contains arguments that
    // are only valid as the first and only option. Named option tables are for subparsers and
    // always start a series of options that end with `--`.

    // Help generation methods

    // Help is available on topics and options. Options may be associated with topics. Users can run
    // --help, --help=topic, or --help=--arg to get help. The top-level help tells the user how
    // to run help and lists available topics. Help for a topic prints a short synopsis about the
    // topic and lists any options that may be associated with the topic. Help for an option
    // provides a short synopsis for that option. All help output is appended with a blurb (if
    // supplied) directing the user to the full documentation. Help is not shown for options for
    // which help has not been added. This makes it possible to have undocumented options for
    // testing, backward-compatibility, etc. Also, it could be quite confusing to handle appropriate
    // help for some inner options that may be repeated with different semantics inside different
    // option tables. There is also no checking for whether an option that has help actually exists.
    // In other words, it's up to the caller to ensure that help actually corresponds to the
    // program's actual options. Rather than this being an intentional design decision, it is
    // because this class is specifically for qpdf, qpdf generates its help and has other means to
    // ensure consistency.

    // Note about newlines:
    //
    // short_text should fit easily after the topic/option on the same line and should not end with
    // a newline. Keep it to around 40 to 60 characters.
    //
    // long_text and footer should end with a single newline. They can have embedded newlines. Keep
    // lines to under 80 columns.
    //
    // QPDFArgParser does reformat the text, but it may add blank lines in some situations.
    // Following the above conventions will keep the help looking uniform.

    // If provided, this footer is appended to all help, separated by a blank line.
    void addHelpFooter(std::string const&);

    // Add a help topic along with the text for that topic
