/*
 * Example showing adding a custom option type to dashdash's parsing.
 *
 * Here we'll add a 'duration' option type. It supports durations specified
 * like this:
 *      1h          meaning 1 hour
 *      5m          meaning 5 minutes
 *      2d          meaning 2 days
 *      12s         meaning 12 seconds
 *
 * For simplicity, our first cut doesn't support multiple scopes. E.g. we
 * don't support "1h25m".
 *
 * The value of the parsed option is a number of milliseconds (that could
 * then be added/subtracted from a current Date).
