/**
 * class Action
 *
 * Base class for all actions
 * Do not call in your code, use this class only for inherits your own action
 *
 * Information about how to convert command line strings to Javascript objects.
 * Action objects are used by an ArgumentParser to represent the information
 * needed to parse a single argument from one or more strings from the command
 * line. The keyword arguments to the Action constructor are also all attributes
 * of Action instances.
 *
 * ##### Allowed keywords:
 *
 * - `store`
 * - `storeConstant`
 * - `storeTrue`
 * - `storeFalse`
 * - `append`
 * - `appendConstant`
 * - `count`
 * - `help`
 * - `version`
 *
 * Information about action options see [[Action.new]]
 *
 * See also [original guide](http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#action)

/**
 * new Action(options)
 *
 * Base class for all actions. Used only for inherits
 *
 *
 * ##### Options:
 *
 * - `optionStrings`  A list of command-line option strings for the action.
 * - `dest`  Attribute to hold the created object(s)
 * - `nargs`  The number of command-line arguments that should be consumed.
 * By default, one argument will be consumed and a single value will be
 * produced.
 * - `constant`  Default value for an action with no value.
 * - `defaultValue`  The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
 * - `type`  Cast to 'string'|'int'|'float'|'complex'|function (string). If
 * None, 'string'.
 * - `choices`  The choices available.
 * - `required`  True if the action must always be specified at the command
 * line.
 * - `help`  The help describing the argument.
 * - `metavar`  The name to be used for the option's argument with the help
 * string. If None, the 'dest' value will be used as the name.
 *
 * ##### nargs supported values:
 *
 * - `N` (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
 * - `?`  consumes zero or one arguments
 * - `*` consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
 * - `+` consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
 *
 * Note: that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that with the
 * default, a single value will be produced, while with nargs=1, a list
 * containing a single value will be produced.
