* ((<class NumRu::Misc::KeywordOpt>))
* ((<class NumRu::Misc::KeywordOptAutoHelp < NumRu::Misc::KeywordOpt>))

= class NumRu::Misc::KeywordOpt

== Overview

A class to facilitate optional keyword arguments. More specifically,
it helps the use of a Hash to mimic the keyword argument system.
With this, you can set default values and description to each 
keyword argument.

== Classes defined supplementarilly

=== class NumRu::Misc::HelpMessagingException < StandardError

This is for your convenience. See the usage example below.

== Usage example

Suppose that you introduce keyword arguments "flag" and "number"
to the method "hoge" in a class/module Foo. It can be done as 
follows:

  require 'numru/misc'  # or, specifically, require 'numru/misc/keywordopt'
  include NumRu

  class Foo
    @@opt_hoge = Misc::KeywordOpt.new(
      ['flag',   false, 'whether or not ...'],
      ['number', 1,     'number of ...'],
      ['help',   false, 'show help message']
    )
    def hoge(regular_arg1, regular_arg2, options=nil)
      opt = @@opt_hoge.interpret(options)
      if opt['help']
        puts @@opt_hoge.help
        puts ' Current values='+opt.inspect
        raise Misc::HelpMessagingException, '** show help message and raise **'
      end
      # do what you want below 
      # (options are set in the Hash opt: opt['flag'] and opt['number'])
    end
  end

Here, the options are defined in the class variable @@opt_hoge
with option names, default values, and descriptions (for help 
messaging). One can use the method hoge as follows:

  foo = Foo.new
  ...
  x = ...
  y = ...
  ...
  foo.hoge( x, y, {'flag'=>true, 'number'=>10} )

Or equivalently,

  foo.hoge( x, y, 'flag'=>true, 'number'=>10 )

because '{}' can be omitted here. 

Tails of options names can be shortened as long as unambiguous:

  foo.hoge( x, y, 'fla'=>true, 'num'=>10 )


To show the help message, call

  foo.hoge( x, y, 'help'=>true )

This will cause the following help message printed with the 
exception HelpMessagingException raised.

   << Description of options >>
    option name => default value   description:
     "flag" =>     false   whether or not ...
     "number" =>   1       number of ...
     "help" =>     false   show help message
   Current values={"help"=>true, "number"=>1, "flag"=>false}
   NumRu::Misc::HelpMessagingException: ** help messaging done **
          from (irb):78:in "hoge"
          from (irb):83

Do not affraid to write long descriptions. The help method  
breaks lines nicely if they are long.

== Class methods

---KeywordOpt.new( *args )

    Constructor.

    ARGUMENTS
    * args : (case 1) arrays of two or three elements: [option name, 
      default value, description ], or [option name, default value]
      if you do not want to write descriptions. Option names and 
      descriptions must be String. (case 2) another KeywordOpt.
      Cases 1 and 2 can be mixed. 

      When case 2, a link to the other KeywordOpt is kept. Thus, change
      of values in it is reflected to the current one. However,
      the link is deleted if values are changed by ((<set>)).

    RETURN VALUE
    * a KeywordOpt object

    EXAMPLE
    * case 1
	opt = Misc::KeywordOpt.new(
	  ['flag',   false, 'whether or not ...'],
	  ['help',   false, 'show help message']
	)
    * case 2
        opt = Misc::KeywordOpt.new( optA, optB )
    * case 1 & 2
	opt = Misc::KeywordOpt.new(
	  ['flag',   false, 'whether or not ...'],
	  optA
	)

== Methods
---interpret(hash)

    Interprets a hash that specifies option values.

    ARGUMENTS
    * hash (Hash or nil) : a hash with string keys matching option names 
      (initializedwhen constructed). The matching is case sensitive and done
      such that the tail of a option name can be omitted as long as 
      unambiguous (for example, 'num' for 'number'). 
      If the argument is nil, the current values are returned.
      If there are two options like 'max' and 'maxval', to use 
      a key 'max' (identical to the former paramer) is allowed, although
      it matches 'maxval' as well. (Again 'ma' is regarded ambiguous.)

    RETURN VALUE
    * a Hash containing the option values (default values overwritten
      with hash).

    POSSIBLE EXCEPTION
    * hash has a key that does not match any of the option names.
    * hash has a key that is ambiguous

---set(hash)

    Similar to ((<interpret>)) but changes internal values.

    ARGUMENTS
    * hash (Hash) : see ((<interpret>)). (Here, nil is not permitted though)

    RETURN VALUE
    * a Hash containing the values replaced (the ones before calling this 
      method)

    POSSIBLE EXCEPTION
    * the argument is not a Hash
    * others are same as in ((<interpret>))

---help

    Returns a help message

    RETURN VALUE
    * a String describing the option names, default values, and descriptions

---[](key)

    Returns a value associated with the key (exact matching unlike interpret)

---keys

    Retunrs the keys.

---select_existent(hash_or_keys)

    Copies hash_or_keys, exclude ones that are not included in the option
    (by comparing keys), and returns it. I.e. select only the ones 
    exsitent. 

    NOTE: ambiguity is not checked, so the resultant value is not 
    necessarily accepted by ((<interpret>)).

    ARGUMENTS
    * hash_or_keys (Hash or Array)

    RETURN VALUE
    * a Hash or Array depending on the class of the argument hash_or_keys

= class NumRu::Misc::KeywordOptAutoHelp < NumRu::Misc::KeywordOpt

Same as ((<class NumRu::Misc::KeywordOpt>)), but the method ((<interpret>))
shows a help message and raise an exception if option 'help' is provided
as an argument and is not nil or false 
((({NumRu::Misc::HelpMessagingException < StandardError}))) 
or if the arguments cannot be interpreted correctly ((({ArgumentError}))).
Option 'help' is automatically defined, so you do not have to define it
yourself.
