+// Abseil supports the following built-in usage flags. When passed, these flags
+// exit the program and :
+//
+// * --help
+// Shows help on important flags for this binary
+// * --helpfull
+// Shows help on all flags
+// * --helpshort
+// Shows help on only the main module for this program
+// * --helppackage
+// Shows help on all modules in the main package
+// * --version
+// Shows the version and build info for this binary and exits
+// * --only_check_args
+// Exits after checking all flags
+// * --helpon
+// Shows help on the modules named by this flag value
+// * --helpmatch
+// Shows help on modules whose name contains the specified substring
