    [speclist] is a list of triples [(keys, spec, doc)]: [keys] is a
    list of options, [spec] is the associated action, and [doc] is
    the help text.
    If [doc] is [Getopt.hidden_option_description], then the option
    is considered internal, and it is not shown in the help text.

    [anon_fun] is an optional function to handle non-option arguments;
    not specifying one means that only options are allowed, and
    non-options will cause an error.

    [usage_msg] is the string which is printed before the list of
    options as help text.

    element representing the application name/path.

    In case of errors, like non-integer value for [Int] or [Set_int],
    an error message is printed, together with a pointer to use
    [--help], and then the program exists with a non-zero exit
    value. *)
