/**
 *  Including this file (and compiling CommandLineFlags.cpp) provides command line
 *  parsing. In order to use it, use the following macros in global
 *  namespace:
 *
 *  DEFINE_bool(name, defaultValue, helpString);
 *  DEFINE_string(name, defaultValue, helpString);
 *  DEFINE_int(name, defaultValue, helpString);
 *  DEFINE_double(name, defaultValue, helpString);
 *
 *  Then, in main, call CommandLineFlags::SetUsage() to describe usage and call
 *  CommandLineFlags::Parse() to parse the flags. Henceforth, each flag can
 *  be referenced using
 *
 *  FLAGS_name
 *
 *  For example, the line
 *
 *  DEFINE_bool(boolean, false, "The variable boolean does such and such");
 *
 *  will create the following variable:
 *
 *  bool FLAGS_boolean;
 *
 *  which will initially be set to false, and can be set to true by using the
 *  flag "--boolean" on the commandline. "--noboolean" will set FLAGS_boolean
 *  to false. FLAGS_boolean can also be set using "--boolean=true" or
 *  "--boolean true" (where "true" can be replaced by "false", "TRUE", "FALSE",
 *  "1" or "0").
 *
 *  The helpString will be printed if the help flag (-h or -help) is used.
 *
 *  Similarly, the line
 *
 *  DEFINE_int(integer, .., ..);
 *
 *  will create
 *
 *  int FLAGS_integer;
 *
 *  and
 *
 *  DEFINE_double(real, .., ..);
 *
 *  will create
 *
 *  double FLAGS_real;
 *
 *  These flags can be set by specifying, for example, "--integer 7" and
 *  "--real 3.14" on the command line. Unsigned integers are parsed from the
 *  command line using strtoul() so will detect the base (0 for octal, and
 *  0x or 0X for hex, otherwise assumes decimal).
 *
 *  Unlike the others, the line
 *
 *  DEFINE_string(args, .., ..);
 *
 *  creates an array:
 *
 *  CommandLineFlags::StringArray FLAGS_args;
 *
 *  If the default value is the empty string, FLAGS_args will default to a size
 *  of zero. Otherwise it will default to a size of 1 with the default string
 *  as its value. All strings that follow the flag on the command line (until
 *  a string that begins with '-') will be entries in the array.
 *
 *  DEFINE_extended_string(args, .., .., extendedHelpString);
 *
 *  creates a similar string array flag as DEFINE_string. The flag will have extended help text
 *  (extendedHelpString) that can the user can see with '--help <args>' flag.
 *
 *  Any flag can be referenced from another file after using the following:
 *
 *  DECLARE_x(name);
 *
 *  (where 'x' is the type specified in the DEFINE).
 *
 *  Inspired by gflags (https://code.google.com/p/gflags/). Is not quite as
 *  robust as gflags, but suits our purposes. For example, allows creating
 *  a flag -h or -help which will never be used, since CommandLineFlags handles it.
 *  CommandLineFlags will also allow creating --flag and --noflag. Uses the same input
 *  format as gflags and creates similarly named variables (i.e. FLAGS_name).
 *  Strings are handled differently (resulting variable will be an array of
 *  strings) so that a flag can be followed by multiple parameters.
