 * `ARGBEGIN {} ARGEND;` creates a switch statement

 * behaviour (extensions of the behaviour is possible)
 * 
 * This macro requires that the variables `argc` and
 * `argv` are defined and that `argv[argc]` is `NULL`,
 * `argc` shall be a non-negative `int` that tells
 * how many elements (all non-`NULL`) are available in
 * `argv`, the list of command line arguments
 * 
 * When parsing stops, `argc` and `argv` are updated
 * shuch that all parsed arguments are removed; the
 * contents of `argv` will not be modified, rather
 * the pointer `argv` will be updated to `&argv[n]`
 * where `n` is the number of parsed elements in `argv`
 * 
 * Inside `{}` in `ARGBEGIN {} ARGEND;` there user
 * shall specify `case` statements for each recognised
 * command line option, and `default` for unrecognised
 * option. For example:
 * 
 *         ARGBEGIN {
 *         case 'a':
 *                 // handle -a
 *                 break;
