/// A type that represents the different possible flags to be used by a
/// `@Flag` property.
///
/// For example, the `Size` enumeration declared here can be used as the type of
/// a `@Flag` property:
///
///     enum Size: String, EnumerableFlag {
///         case small, medium, large, extraLarge
///     }
///
///     struct Example: ParsableCommand {
///         @Flag var sizes: [Size]
///
///         mutating func run() {
///             print(sizes)
///         }
///     }
///
/// By default, each case name is converted to a flag by using the `.long` name
/// specification, so a user can call `example` like this:
///
///     $ example --small --large
///     [.small, .large]
///
/// Provide alternative or additional name specifications for each case by
/// implementing the `name(for:)` static method on your `EnumerableFlag` type.
///
///     extension Size {
///         static func name(for value: Self) -> NameSpecification {
///             switch value {
///             case .extraLarge:
///                 return [.customShort("x"), .long]
///             default:
///                 return .shortAndLong
///             }
///         }
///     }
///
/// With this extension, a user can use short or long versions of the flags:
///
///     $ example -s -l -x --medium
///     [.small, .large, .extraLarge, .medium]

  /// different name specifications for different cases.
