+/**
+ * @brief Command-line argument parser
+ *
+ * You may be wondering why we don't use QCommandLineParser instead of a custom implmentation like
+ * this. The reason why is because QCommandLineParser requires a QApplication object of some kind
+ * to already have been created before it can parse anything, but we need to be able to control
+ * whether a QApplication (GUI-mode) or a QCoreApplication (CLI-mode) is created which is set by
+ * the user as a command line argument. Therefore we needed a custom implementation that could
+ * parse arguments without the need for a Q(Core)Application to be present already.
