       Objects of this class are used to construct a Getop::Complete::Args from a list of command-line
       arguments.  It specifies what options are available to the command line, helping to direct the parser.

       It also specifies what values are valid for those options, and provides an API for access by the shell to
       do tab-completion.

       The valid values list is also used by Getopt::Complete::Args to validate its option values, and produce
       the error list it generates.

        $opts->handle_shell_completion;
        # if it detects it is talking to the shell completer, it will respond and then exit

        # this method is used by the above, then makes a Getopt::Complete::Args.
