 * NAME:        UT_Options.h (C++, Utility Library)
 *
 * COMMENTS:    This is a smaller, faster, more type-safe version of
 *              UT_OptionFile. The reason UT_OptionFile was not simply
 *              re-implemented is that when saving and loading UT_OptionFiles,
 *              no information about the type of each option is saved. This
 *              implementation writes out the type of each data item.
