#pod
#pod   my $options = Data::OptList::mkopt([
#pod     qw(key1 key2 key3 key4),
#pod     key5 => { ... },
#pod     key6 => [ ... ],
#pod     key7 => sub { ... },
#pod     key8 => { ... },
#pod     key8 => [ ... ],
#pod   ]);
#pod
#pod ...is the same thing, more or less, as:

#pod   ]);

#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod Hashes are great for storing named data, but if you want more than one entry
#pod for a name, you have to use a list of pairs.  Even then, this is really boring
#pod to write:
#pod
#pod   $values = [
#pod     foo => undef,
#pod     bar => undef,
#pod     baz => undef,
#pod     xyz => { ... },
#pod   ];
#pod
#pod Just look at all those undefs!  Don't worry, we can get rid of those:
#pod
#pod   $values = [
#pod     map { $_ => undef } qw(foo bar baz),
#pod     xyz => { ... },
#pod   ];
#pod
#pod Aaaauuugh!  We've saved a little typing, but now it requires thought to read,
#pod and thinking is even worse than typing... and it's got a bug!  It looked right,
#pod didn't it?  Well, the C<< xyz => { ... } >> gets consumed by the map, and we
#pod don't get the data we wanted.
#pod
#pod With Data::OptList, you can do this instead:
#pod
#pod   $values = Data::OptList::mkopt([
#pod     qw(foo bar baz),
#pod     xyz => { ... },
#pod   ]);
#pod
#pod This works by assuming that any defined scalar is a name and any reference
#pod following a name is its value.
#pod
#pod =func mkopt
#pod
#pod   my $opt_list = Data::OptList::mkopt($input, \%arg);
#pod
#pod Valid arguments are:
#pod
#pod   moniker        - a word used in errors to describe the opt list; encouraged
#pod   require_unique - if true, no name may appear more than once
#pod   must_be        - types to which opt list values are limited (described below)
#pod   name_test      - a coderef used to test whether a value can be a name
#pod                    (described below, but you probably don't want this)
#pod
#pod This produces an array of arrays; the inner arrays are name/value pairs.
#pod Values will be either "undef" or a reference.
#pod
#pod Positional parameters may be used for compatibility with the old C<mkopt>
#pod interface:
#pod
#pod   my $opt_list = Data::OptList::mkopt($input, $moniker, $req_uni, $must_be);
#pod
#pod Valid values for C<$input>:
#pod
#pod  undef    -> []
#pod  hashref  -> [ [ key1 => value1 ] ... ] # non-ref values become undef
#pod  arrayref -> every name followed by a non-name becomes a pair: [ name => ref ]
#pod              every name followed by undef becomes a pair: [ name => undef ]
#pod              otherwise, it becomes [ name => undef ] like so:
#pod              [ "a", "b", [ 1, 2 ] ] -> [ [ a => undef ], [ b => [ 1, 2 ] ] ]
#pod
#pod By default, a I<name> is any defined non-reference.  The C<name_test> parameter
#pod can be a code ref that tests whether the argument passed it is a name or not.
#pod This should be used rarely.  Interactions between C<require_unique> and
#pod C<name_test> are not yet particularly elegant, as C<require_unique> just tests
#pod string equality.  B<This may change.>
#pod
#pod The C<must_be> parameter is either a scalar or array of scalars; it defines
#pod what kind(s) of refs may be values.  If an invalid value is found, an exception
#pod is thrown.  If no value is passed for this argument, any reference is valid.
#pod If C<must_be> specifies that values must be CODE, HASH, ARRAY, or SCALAR, then
#pod Params::Util is used to check whether the given value can provide that
#pod interface.  Otherwise, it checks that the given value is an object of the kind.
#pod
#pod In other words:
#pod
#pod   [ qw(SCALAR HASH Object::Known) ]
#pod
#pod Means:
#pod
#pod   _SCALAR0($value) or _HASH($value) or _INSTANCE($value, 'Object::Known')

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 mkopt

  my $opt_list = Data::OptList::mkopt($input, \%arg);

Valid arguments are:

  moniker        - a word used in errors to describe the opt list; encouraged
  require_unique - if true, no name may appear more than once
  must_be        - types to which opt list values are limited (described below)
  name_test      - a coderef used to test whether a value can be a name
                   (described below, but you probably don't want this)

This produces an array of arrays; the inner arrays are name/value pairs.
Values will be either "undef" or a reference.

Positional parameters may be used for compatibility with the old C<mkopt>
interface:

  my $opt_list = Data::OptList::mkopt($input, $moniker, $req_uni, $must_be);

Valid values for C<$input>:

 undef    -> []
 hashref  -> [ [ key1 => value1 ] ... ] # non-ref values become undef
 arrayref -> every name followed by a non-name becomes a pair: [ name => ref ]
             every name followed by undef becomes a pair: [ name => undef ]
             otherwise, it becomes [ name => undef ] like so:
             [ "a", "b", [ 1, 2 ] ] -> [ [ a => undef ], [ b => [ 1, 2 ] ] ]

By default, a I<name> is any defined non-reference.  The C<name_test> parameter
can be a code ref that tests whether the argument passed it is a name or not.
This should be used rarely.  Interactions between C<require_unique> and
C<name_test> are not yet particularly elegant, as C<require_unique> just tests

The C<must_be> parameter is either a scalar or array of scalars; it defines
what kind(s) of refs may be values.  If an invalid value is found, an exception
is thrown.  If no value is passed for this argument, any reference is valid.
If C<must_be> specifies that values must be CODE, HASH, ARRAY, or SCALAR, then
Params::Util is used to check whether the given value can provide that
interface.  Otherwise, it checks that the given value is an object of the kind.

In other words:

  [ qw(SCALAR HASH Object::Known) ]

Means:

  _SCALAR0($value) or _HASH($value) or _INSTANCE($value, 'Object::Known')

=head2 mkopt_hash

  my $opt_hash = Data::OptList::mkopt_hash($input, $moniker, $must_be);

Given valid C<L</mkopt>> input, this routine returns a reference to a hash.  It
will throw an exception if any name has more than one value.

=head1 EXPORTS

Both C<mkopt> and C<mkopt_hash> may be exported on request.
