As documented in the source code, certain cases appear to cause ArgParse to
fail after its rewrite to rely upon GNU C's getopt_long:
* When long arguments are specified in form "--longoption value"
* When short arguments are packed together, such as "-abcd valueForD"
Wrapping this code in a standard try-catch fails since the code throws across
linking barriers. Other attempts to catch the error are equally ineffectual.
Given the problems inherent to use of getopt_long as a drop-in rewrite of the
previous iteration of ArgParse, while maintaining its inefficient time
complexity, it's advised that this construct be rewritten to use a hashmap with
a very limited, well-defined number of input cases. Such a framework is trivial
once all of the supported input cases are defined.
