      Keyword Arguments:
      docstring -- a string in the format of Python documentation
         strings that describes the option and its usage.  The first
         line is assumed to be a one-line summary for the option.
         The following paragraphs are assumed to be a complete description
         of the option.  You can give a paragraph with the label
         'Valid Values:' that contains a short description of the
         values that are valid for the current option.  If this
         paragraph exists and an error is encountered while validating
         the option, this paragraph will be printed instead of the
         somewhat generic error message for that option type.

      options -- a string containing all possible variants of the
         option.  All variants should contain the '-', '--', etc. at
         the beginning.  For boolean options, the option can be preceded
         by a '!' to mean that the option should be turned OFF rather
         than ON which is the default.

      default -- value for the option to take if it isn't specified
         on the command line

      optional -- value for the option if it is given without a value.
         This is only used for options that normally take a value,
         but you also want a default that indicates that the option
         was given without a value.

      values -- valid values for the option.  This argument can take
         the following forms:
        
         single value -- for StringOption this this is a string, for
            IntegerOption this is an integer, for FloatOption this is
            a float.  The single value mode is most useful when the 
            value is a regular expression.  For example, to specify
            that a StringOption must be a string of characters followed
            by a digit, 'values' would be set to re.compile(r'\w+\d').

         range of values -- a two element list can be given to specify
            the endpoints of a range of valid values.  This is probably
            most useful on IntegerOption and FloatOption.  For example,
            to specify that an IntegerOption can only take the values
            from 0 to 10, 'values' would be set to [0,10]. 

            NOTE: This mode must *always* use a Python list since using
                  a tuple means something else entirely.

         tuple of values -- a tuple of values can be used to specify 
            a complete list of valid values.  For example, to specify
            that an IntegerOption can take the values 1, 2, or 3, 'values'
            would be set to (1,2,3).  If a string value can only take 
            the values, 'hi', 'bye', and any string of characters beginning
            with the letter 'z', 'values' would be set to 
            ('hi','bye',re.compile(r'z.*?')).

            NOTE: This mode must *always* use a Python tuple since using
                  a list means something else entirely.

      category -- a category key which specifies which category the
         option belongs to (see Option.add_category())
      
      callback -- a function to call after the value of the option has
         been validated.  This function will be called with the validated
         option value as its only argument.

      environ -- environment variable to use as default value instead
         of specified value.  If the environment variable exists, it
         will be used for the default value instead of the specified value.

      registry -- registry key to use as default value instead of
         specified value.  If the registry key exists, it will be used
         for the default value instead of the specified value.  A
         specified environment variable takes precedence over this value.

      name -- key used to get the option from its corresponding section.
         You do not need to specify this.  It will be set automatically
         when you put the option into the ConfigManager instance.

      mandatory -- flag used to determine if the option itself is
         required to be present.  The idea of a "mandatory option" is
         a little strange, but I have seen it done.

      source -- flag used to determine whether the option was set
         directly in the ConfigManager instance through Python,
         by a configuration file/command line option, etc.  You do not need
         to specify this, it will be set automatically during parsing.
         This flag should have the value of BUILTIN, COMMANDLINE,
         CONFIGFILE, ENVIRONMENT, REGISTRY, or CODE.
