If you do get a moment to point to any reference or just write up a
quick summary, I'm sure there would be some implementation suggestions
available.

Presumably any parsing template still has to deal with issues such as
flagging options (optional pieces) versus standard arguments,
delimiters and quoting them, etc...  But there's obviously also
multiple ways to make choices about each of those issues.
