ApplicationArguments class abstract interface

Defines the contract for accessing and parsing command-line arguments passed to an application.

This interface allows inspection of raw arguments, detection of option-based arguments (like --name=value), and separation of non-option arguments.

Example usage:

class MyAppArgs implements ApplicationArguments {
  final List<String> _args;
  MyAppArgs(this._args);

  @override
  List<String> getSourceArgs() => _args;

  @override
  Set<String> getOptionNames() => {...};

  @override
  bool containsOption(String name) => {...};

  @override
  List<String> getOptionValues(String name) => {...};

  @override
  List<String> getNonOptionArgs() => [...];
}

This is typically used during application startup to parse user-supplied flags and parameters, especially in CLI-based or microservice setups.
