/**
 *      `CommandParser` stores both it's state and command data, relevant to
 *  parsing, as it's member variables during the whole parsing process,
 *  instead of passing that data around in every single method.
 *
 *      We will give a brief overview of how around 20 parsing methods below
 *  are interconnected.
 *      The only public method `ParseWith()` is used to start parsing and it
 *  uses `PickSubCommand()` to first try and figure out what sub command is
 *  intended by user's input.
 *      Main bulk of the work is done by `ParseParameterArrays()` method,
 *  for simplicity broken into two `ParseRequiredParameterArray()` and
 *  `ParseOptionalParameterArray()` methods that can parse parameters for both
 *  command itself and it's options.
 *      They go through arrays of required and optional parameters,
 *  calling `ParseParameter()` for each parameters, which in turn can make
 *  several calls of `ParseSingleValue()` to parse parameters' values:
 *  it is called once for single-valued parameters, but possibly several times
 *  for list parameters that can contain several values.
 *      So main parsing method looks something like:
 *  ParseParameterArrays() {
 *      loop ParseParameter() {
 *          loop ParseSingleValue()
 *      }
 *  }
 *      `ParseSingleValue()` is essentially that redirects it's method call to
 *  another, more specific, parsing method based on the parameter type.
 *
 *      Finally, to allow users to specify options at any point in command,
 *  we call `TryParsingOptions()` at the beginning of every
 *  `ParseSingleValue()` (the only parameter that has higher priority than
 *  options is `CPT_Remainder`), since option definition can appear at any place
 *  between parameters. We also call `TryParsingOptions()` *after* we've parsed
 *  all command's parameters, since that case won't be detected by parsing
 *  them *before* every parameter.
 *      `TryParsingOptions()` itself simply tries to detect "-" and "--"
 *  prefixes (filtering out negative numeric values) and then redirect the call
 *  to either of more specialized methods: `ParseLongOption()` or
 *  `ParseShortOption()`, that can in turn make another `ParseParameterArrays()`
 *  call, if specified option has parameters.
 *      NOTE: `ParseParameterArrays()` can only nest in itself once, since
 *  option declaration always interrupts previous option's parameter list.
 *      Rest of the methods perform simple auxiliary functions.
