public interface Option<T>
extends Operand<T>

An Option represents a command line option with the according option's value. An Option can be seen as a key/value(s) pair usually represented by two succeeding arguments (e.g. "--file simeFile". An Option has a state which changes with each invocation of the Term.parseArgs(String[], String[], CliContext) method.
