Description 

Author

This class can read and parse arguments for command line scripts.

It takes an array with the command line arguments passed from the console and parses them according to the definition of expected arguments passed as another array.

The class supports boolean options that are enabled by the presence of argument like --help, and string options that have associated values like --file=filename. other values that do not start with -- are ignored.

The class returns argument values using getter functions.

console-args

This is an wrapper for the argv global

The difference between arguments and options are: * arguments are strings like `--help` * options are strings like `--file=filename` * other arguments without `--` are not recognized because the magic of this wrapper is that doesn't matter the order of the arguments/options
