// Built-in Usage Flags
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// 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
