+#
+# The argument description is parsed into a "program tree"
+# It is called a "program" because it is the program used by
+# the state machine interpreter that use that program to
+# actually parse the arguments at run time.
+#
+# The general structure of a "program" is
+# notation (pseudo bnf like)
+#    name :== definition        defines "name" as being "definition"
+#    { x y z }                  means list of x, y, and z
+#    x*                         means x repeated 0 or more time
+#    x+                         means "x x*"
+#    x?                         means optionally x
+#    x | y                      means x or y
+#    "cccc"                     means the literal string
+#
+#    program        :== { programCounter programStep* }
+#
+#    programStep    :== program | singleStep
+#
+#    programCounter :== {"P" integer+ }
+#
+#    singleStep     :== { instruction parameters* }
+#
+#    instruction    :== single element list
+#
+# (the difference between singleStep and program is that \
+#   llength [lindex $program 0] >= 2
+# while
+#   llength [lindex $singleStep 0] == 1
+# )
+#
+# And for this application:
+#
+#    singleStep     :== { instruction varname {hasBeenSet currentValue} type
+#                         typeArgs help }
+#    instruction    :== "flags" | "value"
+#    type           :== knowType | anyword
+#    knowType       :== "string" | "int" | "boolean" | "boolflag" | "float"
+#                       | "choice"
+#
+# for type "choice" typeArgs is a list of possible choices, the first one
+# is the default value. for all other types the typeArgs is the default value
+#
+# a "boolflag" is the type for a flag whose presence or absence, without
+# additional arguments means respectively true or false (default flag type).
+#
+# programCounter is the index in the list of the currently processed
+# programStep (thus starting at 1 (0 is {"P" prgCounterValue}).
+# If it is a list it points toward each currently selected programStep.
+# (like for "flags", as they are optional, form a set and programStep).
+
+# Performance/Implementation issues
+# ---------------------------------
+# We use tcl lists instead of arrays because with tcl8.0
+# they should start to be much faster.
+# But this code use a lot of helper procs (like Lvarset)
+# which are quite slow and would be helpfully optimized
+# for instance by being written in C. Also our struture
+# is complex and there is maybe some places where the
+# string rep might be calculated at great exense. to be checked.
