/** An OptionEntry defines a single option. To have an effect, it must be added to an OptionGroup with 
 * OptionGroup::add_entry().
 * 
 * The long name of an option can be used to specify it in a commandline as --long_name. 
 * Every option must have a long name. To resolve conflicts if multiple option groups contain the same long name, it is also 
 * possible to specify the option as --groupname-long_name.
 *
 * If an option has a short name, it can be specified as -short_name in a commandline.
 *
 * The description for the option is shown in the --help  output.
 *
 * The arg_descripton is the placeholder to use for the extra argument parsed by the option in --help  output.
