+;;; Author: Dale Mellor May, 2020
+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;;; Where the Guile (ice-9 getopt-long) module, modelled after the GNU C
+;;; libraryʼs ‘getopt_long’ function, allows an application to construct
+;;; a grammar prescribing the decomposition of the command-line options,
+;;; this module, inspired by the C libraryʼs ‘argp’ parser, gives the
+;;; application a higher-level paradigm in which the command-line
+;;; processing is specified declaratively. This includes enough of the
+;;; application meta-data and some fragmentary help strings for the
+;;; completely automatic generation of responses to GNU-standard
+;;; ‘--help’, ‘--version’ and ‘--usage’ options, thus alleviating the
+;;; need of the application itself to deal with these things.
+;;;
+;;; The module has three specific aims.
+;;;
+;;; 1) Provide higher-level declarative interface, easier to use.
+;;;
+;;; 2) Automatically respond to --help, --version and --usage
+;;; options.
+;;;
+;;; 3) Allow amalgamation of specifications, so that an application
+;;; can mix in requirements from modules into its own option
+;;; specification--THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED.
+;;;
+;;; There is just one function which needs to be called to get all of
+;;; this functionality: it is ‘process-command-line’, and has the side
+;;; effect that new variable bindings appear in the current module
+;;; corresponding to all the options. For example, if a declared option
+;;; is ‘--do-this’, then a variable called, literally, ‘--do-this’ will
+;;; be injected in the current namespace and will have the value
+;;; provided on the command-line, or simply #t or #f to indicate whether
+;;; or not that option was present on the command line.
+;;;
+;;; Alternatively, it is possible to create and compose the
+;;; specification in separate steps, and then call the above method with
+;;; the results. The functions ‘command-line-specification’ and
+;;; ‘merge-command-line-specifications’ are provided to this end.
+
+;;; (process-command-line COMMAND-LINE SPECIFICATION)
+;;; Process the COMMAND-LINE according to the application SPECIFICATION.
+;;;
+;;; COMMAND-LINE is a list of strings, such as that returned from the
+;;; core ‘command-line’ function.
+;;;
+;;; SPECIFICATION is a form holding a space-separated mix of selection
+;;; words followed by their respective declarations. The selection
+;;; words are ‘application’, ‘author’, ‘bug-address’, ‘copyright’,
+;;; ‘help-preamble’, ‘help-postamble’, ‘license’, ‘option’, ‘usage’ and
+;;; ‘version’, and can appear in any order.
+;;;
+;;; ‘application’ should be followed by a string: the name of the
+;;; application with possibly the package name in
+;;; parentheses afterwards
+;;; ‘author’ should be followed by a string giving the name of one of
+;;; the packageʼs authors. This selection word can be
+;;; repeated as many times as necessary to provide the names
+;;; of all authors.
+;;; ‘bug-address’ should be followed by a string giving the URL of a
+;;; contact-point for sending bug reports, such as an
+;;; e-mail address or web address of bug-tracking system
+;;; interface
+;;; ‘copyright’ should be followed by a string containing a list of
+;;; years and an entity to whom the copyright is assigned.
+;;; This may be repeated to list other assignees
+;;; ‘help-preamble’ should be followed by a number of strings which
+;;; make up a short paragraph of text displayed before
+;;; a full list of the available program options
+;;; ‘help-postamble’, like the preamble, is followed by strings which
+;;; make up a paragraph of text, shown after the list
+;;; of options
+;;; ‘license’ can be followed by one of the words ‘GPLv3’ [this is
+;;; currently the only standard choice implemented], or else
+;;; a string which briefly gives out the terms of the license
+;;; ‘option’ is followed by an option declaration, described below
+;;; ‘usage’ is followed by a string describing the usage of the
+;;; application on one line
+;;; ‘version’ is followed by a string providing the current version
+;;; number of this program
+;;;
+;;; The ‘option’ declaration is followed by another form bracketed by
+;;; parentheses and holding a space-separated mix of declarations (order
+;;; irrelevant).
+;;;
+;;; A word beginning with two hyphens, an optional exclamation point,
+;;; alpha-numeric characters, an optional equals sign, and an
+;;; optional further word. There must be exactly one of these, and
+;;; they determine the long name of the option. An exclamation point
+;;; indicates that the option MUST appear on the command line, an
+;;; equals indicates that the option MUST have a value unless it is
+;;; followed in the specification by a value, in which case the value
+;;; on the command-line is optional and the one in the specification
+;;; will be taken as the default when not given on the command line.
+;;;
+;;; A word comprised of one hyphen and one letter or number. There
+;;; can be exactly zero or one of these, and it declares that the
+;;; option has this short form available on the command-line. As a
+;;; very special exception: if you want to use ‘-i’ as an option, it
+;;; must be specified with the identifier ‘short-i’ (a naked /-i/ is
+;;; read as a complex number); ditto ‘short-I’ for ‘-I’.
+;;;
+;;; A number of strings which are catenated together to provide a
+;;; short, succinct description of the option. These strings should
+;;; be approximately half the width of a page, i.e. about 40
+;;; characters.
+;;;
+;;; A function which will be used as a predicate to decide if a value
+;;; is allowable for this option. There should be zero or one of
+;;; these.
+;;;
+;;; For the precise presentation of options on the command-line, the
+;;; reader should refer to the description of the ‘getopt-long’ module,
+;;; which underlies the present one.
+;;;
+;;; At this point a short example is in order. The main entry point for
+;;; the GNU Mcron program has as its first clause
+;;;
+;;; (process-command-line (command-line)
+;;; application "mcron"
+;;; version "1.4"
+;;; usage "[OPTIONS]... [FILES]..."
+;;; help-preamble
+;;; "Run an mcron process according to the specifications in the FILE... "
+;;; "(`-' for standard input), or use all the files in ~/.config/cron "
+;;; "(or the deprecated ~/.cron) with .guile or .vixie extensions.\n"
+;;; "Note that --daemon and --schedule are mutually exclusive."
+;;; option (--daemon -d
+;;; "run as a daemon process")
+;;; option (--stdin=guile short-i (λ (in) (or (string=? in "guile")
+;;; (string=? in "vixie")))
+;;; "format of data passed as standard input or file "
+;;; "arguments, 'guile' or 'vixie' (default guile)")
+;;; option (--schedule=8 -s string->number
+;;; "display the next N (or 8) jobs that will be run")
+;;; help-postamble
+;;; "Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or "
+;;; "optional for any corresponding short options."
+;;; bug-address "bug-mcron@gnu.org"
+;;; copyright "2003, 2006, 2014, 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc."
+;;; license GPLv3)
+;;;
+;;; after which there are four new variable bindings in the present
+;;; namespace: --daemon, --stdin, --schedule and --! (the latter holds
+;;; all the command-line arguments that did not partake in option
+;;; processing) whose values depend on the specific command-line options
+;;; the end user furnished.
+
+;;; (command-line-specification SPECIFICATION)
+;;; Compiles an object which encapsulates the given SPECIFICATION.
+;;;
+;;; For details of how to give a SPECIFICATION, see the description of
+;;; the full ‘process-command-line’ function above. The return from
+;;; this method can be used in the partial version of
+;;; ‘process-command-line’ described below, and in the following
+;;; ‘merge-command-line-specifications’ function.
+
+;;; (merge-command-line-specifications SPECIFICATION_OBJECT ...) Make a
+;;; single specification object which embodies the amalgamation of all
+;;; of the specification objects given as arguments.
+;;;
+;;; Order is important: if two option items specify the same short form
+;;; for the option (a single letter), then only the first option will
+;;; actually have that short form available at the command-line.
+;;; Similarly, if two options have exactly the same name, the second (or
+;;; later) ones will have a numerical digit appended to their name.
+
+;;; (process-command-line COMMAND-LINE SPECIFICATION-OBJECT) Perform
+;;; exactly the same function as the full ‘process-command-line’
+;;; function described above, but takes a pre-made specification object
+;;; produced using the two functions above.
+
+;;; Bugs/To do
+;;;
+;;; 1) This stuff currently only works in the top-level module.
+;;;
+;;; 2) Want to be able to amalgamate command-line specifications from
+;;; different modules. Will need to get to the bottom of the first
+;;; issue before we can tackle this one (somehow need to put the
+;;; --option variable bindings into the right places, or at least
+;;; replicate them all in all modules which want to do some processing
+;;; of the command line).
+;;;
+;;; 3) Want more license boilerplate text; currently we only have GPLv3.
