<argument-list-parser>

Describes how to parse an argument list, and contains the data found when parsing one.

An <argument-list-parser> represents both a description of the data to be found in an argument list, and the results of parsing a particular argument list for that data.

Prior to calling parse-arguments for the first time, no useful information can be extracted from an argument list parser.  Subsequent calls to parse-arguments will update the data contained within the parser.
