/*! \brief
 * Module that can be run from a command line and uses gmx::Options for
 * argument processing.
 *
 * This class provides a higher-level interface on top of
 * gmx::ICommandLineModule for cases where gmx::Options will be used
 * for declaring the command-line arguments.  The module only needs to declare
 * the options it uses, and the framework takes care of command-line parsing
 * and help output.  The module typically consists of the following parts:
 *  - init() allows for some interaction between the module and the framework
 *    when running the module; see ICommandLineModule::init().  If no
 *    such customization is necessary, an empty implementation is sufficient.
 *  - initOptions() is called both for running the module and for printing help
 *    for the module, and it should add the options that the module
 *    understands.  Values provided for the options are typically stored in
 *    member variables.
 *  - optionsFinished() can be implemented in case additional processing is
 *    needed (e.g., checking whether an option was set by the user).
 *  - run() is called when running the module, after command-line options have
 *    been parsed and their values stored in the corresponding member
 *    variables.
 *
 * registerModule(), runAsMain(), or createModule() can be used to use modules
 * of this type in all contexts where a gmx::ICommandLineModule is
 * expected.  These methods create a gmx::ICommandLineModule
 * implementation that contains the common code needed to parse command-line
 * options and write help, based on the information provided from the methods
 * in this class.
