/** Factory method that composes individual options into groups.
 * In some situations it is useful and sometimes even necessary to
 * enforce certain relationships among options provided by some, 
 * potentially different modules. Factory methods defined here in allow such
 * compositions as they take multiple options and convert them
 * into one group option.
 * <p>
 * The following table gives short overview of the behaviour of different
 * factory methods. Supposed <b>n</b> individual options were passed as
 * arguments to each method. The <em>Min</em> and <em>Max</em> shown the
 * number that is needed for the group option to be "consistent":
 * 
 * <table border=1>
 *   <theader>
 *     <td>Method</td>
 *     <td>Min</td>
 *     <td>Max</td>
 *   </theader>
 * 
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>{@link OptionGroups#allOf}</td>
 *     <td>n</td>
 *     <td>n</td>
 *   </tr>
 * 
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>{@link OptionGroups#oneOf}</td>
 *     <td>1</td>
 *     <td>1</td>
 *   </tr>
 * 
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>{@link OptionGroups#someOf}</td>
 *     <td>1</td>
 *     <td>n</td>
 *   </tr>
 *
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>{@link OptionGroups#anyOf}</td>
 *     <td>0</td>
 *     <td>n</td>
 *   </tr>
 * </table>
 * 
 * <p>
 * Please note that the {@link OptionGroups#anyOf} is in fact always consistent,
 * regardless any number of the given options appears on the command line or not.
 * As such it serves slightly different purpose than the other methods listed
 * in the table.
 * <p>
 * More detailed description of the behaviour of each method is given in
 * their appropriate javadoc.
