+/*
+ * Define value types which describe values accepted
+ * by the --option's in args.h, and can also describe
+ * the values accepted as positional args.
+ *
+ * Previously, accepted values were only "described"
+ * by identifying the parsing function to use.
+ *
+ * Some standard val types are used by many options,
+ * e.g. many options (aa_ARG, bb_ARG, cc_ARG) all
+ * accept a number_VAL.
+ *
+ * Other special val types are used by only one option,
+ * e.g. only mirrorlog_ARG accepts a mirrorlog_VAL.
+ * This typically means that there are some specific
+ * words that are recognized after the option.
+ *
+ * Some options currently take a standard val type,
+ * (esp string_VAL), but they could be given their
+ * own custom val type.  The advantage of using a
+ * custom val type is the possibility of validating
+ * the value when parsing it with a custom parsing
+ * function, and the possibility of displaying the
+ * actual accepted values in the command usage.
+ * Without a custom val type, the code must do ad hoc
+ * validation of the string values, and the usage
+ * output for the option will only say "String"
+ * rather than giving the accepted string values.
+ * Even without a custom parsing function, there is
+ * reason to define a custom x_VAL enum so that a
+ * more descriptive usage string can be specified
+ * as opposed to just "String".
+ *
+ * Most of the val types defined here are used after
+ * --option's, and are referenced in foo_ARG entries
+ * in args.h.  But, some val types are only used to
+ * represent positional values in command definitions,
+ * e.g. vg_VAL.
+ *
+ * val(a, b, c, d)
+ *
+ * a:  foo_VAL enums
+ * b:  the function to parse and set the value
+ * c:  the name used to reference this value in command defs
+ * d:  what to display in usage output for this value
+ *
+ * command defintions will use --option NAME, where NAME
+ * is shown in val() field c.  NAME will be translated to
+ * foo_VAL enum in field a, which is used in commands[]
+ * structs.
+ *
+ * option definitions (arg.h) will reference foo_VAL enum
+ * in field a.
+ *
+ * FIXME: for specialized val types, the set of recognized
+ * words is not defined or stored in a consistent way,
+ * but is just whatever the parsing function happens to look
+ * for, so adding a new accepted value for the val type is
+ * generally making the parsing function recognize a new
+ * word, and making the implementation code also recognize
+ * that word to do something different.  This new word should
+ * then also be added to the usage string for the val type here.
+ * It would be nice if the accepted values could be defined in a
+ * more consistent way, and perhaps in a single place, perhaps in
+ * struct val_props.
+ *
+ * The usage text for an option is not always the full
+ * set of words accepted for an option, but may be a
+ * subset.  i.e. an outdated word that no longer does
+ * anything may not be shown, but may still be recognized
+ * and ignored, or an option that shouldn't be used in
+ * general isn't shown to avoid suggesting it.
+ * e.g. for --activate we show the most common "y|n|ay"
+ * without showing the lvmlockd variations "ey|sy" which
+ * are not applicable in general.
+ *
+ * FIXME: are there some specialized or irrelevant
+ * options included in the usage text below that should
+ * be removed?  Should "lvm1" be removed?
+ *
+ * For Number args that take optional units, a full usage
+ * could be "Number[bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE]" (with implied |),
+ * but repeating this full specification produces cluttered
+ * output, and doesn't indicate which unit is the default.
+ * "Number[units]" would be cleaner, as would a subset of
+ * common units, e.g. "Number[kmg...]", but neither helps
+ * with default.  "Number[k|unit]" and "Number[m|unit]" show
+ * the default, and "unit" indicates that other units
+ * are possible without listing them all.  This also
+ * suggests using the preferred lower case letters, because
+ * --size and other option args treat upper/lower letters
+ * the same, all as 1024 SI base.  For this reason, we
+ * should avoid suggesting the upper case letters.
