% The main command provided by the package is |\parse|\marg{spec}.
% \emph{spec} consists of groups of commands. Each group should set up the
% command |\@parsecmd| which is then run. The important point is that
% |\@parsecmd| will pick up its arguments from the running text, not from
% the rest of \emph{spec}. When it's done storing the arguments,
% |\@parsecmd| must call |\@parse| to continue with the next element of
% \emph{spec}. The process terminates when we run out of spec.
%
% Helper macros are provided for the three usual argument types: mandatory,
% optional, and flag.
