/*
 * `type`::
 *   holds the type of the option, you must have an OPTION_END last in your
 *   array.
 *
 * `short_name`::
 *   the character to use as a short option name, '\0' if none.
 *
 * `long_name`::
 *   the long option name, without the leading dashes, NULL if none.
 *
 * `value`::
 *   stores pointers to the values to be filled.
 *
 * `argh`::
 *   token to explain the kind of argument this option wants. Keep it
 *   homogenous across the repository.
 *
 * `help`::
 *   the short help associated to what the option does.
 *   Must never be NULL (except for OPTION_END).
 *   OPTION_GROUP uses this pointer to store the group header.
 *
 * `flags`::
 *   mask of parse_opt_option_flags.
 *   PARSE_OPT_OPTARG: says that the argument is optionnal (not for BOOLEANs)
 *   PARSE_OPT_NOARG: says that this option takes no argument, for CALLBACKs
 *   PARSE_OPT_NONEG: says that this option cannot be negated
 *   PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN this option is skipped in the default usage, showed in
 *                    the long one.
 *
 * `callback`::
 *   pointer to the callback to use for OPTION_CALLBACK.
 *
 * `defval`::
 *   default value to fill (*->value) with for PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
 *   OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT,SET_PTR} store the {mask,integer,pointer} to put in
 *   the value when met.
 *   CALLBACKS can use it like they want.
