-The `kind` of option is mostly independent of whether it is flagged or unflagged, and independent of being optional (due to the `hestOpt` having a default string) versus required (when no default is given). The one wrinkle is that unflagged options must have at least one parameter (i.e. `min` > 0), either by the command-line or via a default string. An unflagged option allowed to have zero parameters has no explicit textual existence, which seems out-of-bounds for a command-line parser. Thus for unflagged options, `kind`s 1 and 4 are ruled out, and kind 5 is possible with `min` >= 1. This is likely already too much low-level information: users of `hest` will probably never need to worry about `kind`, and certainly `kind` is not part of the API calls to create options and parse command-lines.

Some **concrete examples** may be helpful for understanding `hest`'s utility ... (IN PROGRESS) ...
