/**
 * \page userinterfaces-commandline Command Line Interface
 *
 * The command line interface allows for using MoleCuilder within scripts such
 * system with only slightly varying parameters can be built in a straight-
 * forward way.
 *
 * Commands are parsed via the CommandLineParser which uses boost::program_options
 * to recognize the given options. ActionRegistry and OptionRegistry are used
 * to distinguish Option's from Action's. Each option has a specific type and a
 * Validator ascertains that the value associated with this option and of this
 * specific type matches certain criteria.
 *
 * So far the sequence of the Option's is not really important but for the
 * Action's the ordering counts: first come, first serve.
 *
 * Undoing is possible from the command-line as well. But is so far only used in
 * the regression test to test its functionality. However, as the ActionHistory,
 * or rather ActionQueue, can be saved as a session, this is useful as in a restored
 * ActionHistory undo would allow for traversing back in this history.
