type CountFlag int

// CmdFlags defines the command-line flags (see var Flag).
// Each struct field is a different flag, by default named for the lower-case of the field name.
// If the flag name is a single letter, the default flag name is left upper-case.
// If the flag name is "Lower" followed by a single letter, the default flag name is the lower-case of the last letter.
//
// If this default flag name can't be made right, the `flag` struct tag can be used to replace it,
// but this should be done only in exceptional circumstances: it helps everyone if the flag name
// is obvious from the field name when the flag is used elsewhere in the compiler sources.
// The `flag:"-"` struct tag makes a field invisible to the flag logic and should also be used sparingly.
//
// Each field must have a `help` struct tag giving the flag help message.
//
// The allowed field types are bool, int, string, pointers to those (for values stored elsewhere),
// CountFlag (for a counting flag), and func(string) (for a flag that uses special code for parsing).
