   VMS has its own fancy command line parser, mostly used for the   
   built-in commands.  Among others, it allows for abbreviating commands   
   and command options, and I believe some checking on the arguments   
   themselves.   
      
   If you install programs with their own descriptor file, it integrates   
   that with the existing parser.
