  \brief Argument Parser
  \author Thomas Eriksson and Pal Frenger (Thanks to Svante Signell for
          valuable input), modifications by Johan Bergman

  This class parses strings to variables. The syntax is compatible with Matlab
  and Octave. It can be used in several different ways. The following test
  program and test data file gives several examples:

  <ul>
  <li> Use the Parser class on a parameter file </li>
  <li> Use the Parser class on the command line input </li>
  <li> Use the Parser class on a char pointer (usually the command line input) </li>
  <li> Use the Parser class on a parameter file and a char pointer </li>
  <li> Use the Parser class on an Array of strings </li>
  <li> Use the Parser::get() method on a parameter file </li>
  <li> Use the Parser::exist() method to check if variables exist </li>
  </ul>

  The test program looks as follows:
  \include parser_test.cpp

  The data file \c parser_test_data.txt looks as follows:
  \include parser_test_data.txt

  Beside the type-specific get methods, like get_int(), there is a templated
  get method called get(), that can handle all variable types that have an
  istream operator defined, e.g. Arrays. The get() method takes the variable
  value as an input/output parameter. If the variable name cannot be found,
  the old value is kept. Here is an example:

  \code
  // Declare and initialize a variable
  Array<ivec> var;
  set_array(var, "{[1] [2 3] [4 5 6]}");

  // Let the Parser p get the variable named my_var_name
  bool my_var_name_was_found = p.get(var, "my_var_name");
  \endcode

  In the above example, if \c my_var_name was not found, \c var keeps its old
  value {[1] [2 3] [4 5 6]}. In non-silent mode, the get() method echoes the
  variable values to the standard output in Matlab/Octave m-file style.
