      <abstract>Superclass for a command that can be invoked by a command-line script.
Most commands won't need to subclass this.</abstract>
      <description>A Command object encapsulates, for a particular command, a description,
usage example, a set of valid options &amp; arguments, methods for
validating the actual options and arguments entered, a function for
command invocation, and an association with subordinate Commands.

A tree of commands can be created by associating each Command instance
with its subordinates. Typically, only the leaves of the tree will have
functionality; the branches just provide ways of grouping the leaves
and will not need to encapsulate the invocation functions themselves.</description>
