class OptionString(object):
    """Class serving as a builder for option strings.

    Motivation: Both manual contatenation and .join() methods
    are prone to leaving superfluous spaces if some parts of options
    are optional (missing, empty).

    The scope of this class is more general than just command line options,
    it can concatenate any string consisting of words that may be missing.
    But options were the first usage, so method arguments are frequently
    named "parameter" and "value".
    To keep this generality, automated adding of dashes is optional,
    and disabled by default.

    Parts of the whole option string are kept as list items (string, stipped),
    with prefix already added.
    Empty strings are never added to the list (except by constructor).

    The class offers many methods for adding, so that callers can pick
    the best fitting one, without much logic near the call site.
