- an `<arg_spec>` tells the option parser if the option has an argument

+`<flags>`::
+ `<flags>` are of `*`, `=`, `?` or `!`.

+ * Use `*` to mean that this option should not be listed in the usage

The remainder of the line, after stripping the spaces, is used
as the help associated to the option.
