    @brief
        Container class for a command line argument of type T.
        
        Whenever you want to have an option specified by a command line switch,
        you need to first define it with SetCommandLineArgument(name, defaultValue).
        It is then added to a map and possibly changed when the command line is being parsed.
        If the option was not given, you can detect this by asking hasDefaultValue().
        
        There is a possibility to define a short cut so you can write "-p 20" instead of "--port 20".
        Note the difference between "-" and "--"!
        Also, there is no restriction to the number of strings you add after --name.
        So "--startVector (2, 4, 5)" is perfectly legal.

        Retrieving an argument is possible with the getCommandLineArgument function of the
        CommandLine class. It is a Singleton, but the public interface is static.
