* Abstract base class for specifying option properties.
*
* They should also throw APIError if they detect problems.
*
* Should only be called by Options::addOption().
+ *
+ * The ownership of the return value is passed, but is not using a
+ * smart pointer to avoid introducing such a dependency in an installed
+ * header. The implementation will always consist of a single `new`
+ * call and returning that value, and the caller always immediately
+ * wraps the pointer in a smart pointer, so there is not exception
+ * safety issue.
