      Support for inserting additional arguments during

      processing.
    </summary><remarks><para>
        The <see cref="T:Mono.Options.ArgumentSource" /> type is an
        abstraction to allow "insertion" of additional values for option
        processing while processing arguments.
      </para><para>
        The principal use case is for <i>response files</i>, as used by
        <c>CSC.EXE</c>, <c>CL.EXE</c>, and numerous other
        compilers.  A response file contains additional options for the tool,
        and the contents of the response file should be "inserted" as if
        entered on the command line.  Response files are useful for bypassing
        command-line length limitations, among other things.
      </para><para>
        Applications must opt-in to response file support by calling 
        <see cref="M:Mono.Options.OptionSet.Add(Mono.Options.ArgumentSource)" />
        before calling 
        <see cref="M:Mono.Options.OptionSet.Parse(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable{System.String})" />.
