  the text on the command line is stored in the destination (or passed
  to the callback) as-is.
  
! Integer arguments (``int'', ``long'') are parsed as follows:
! \begin{itemize}
! \item If the number starts with {\tt 0x} it is parsed as a hexa-decimal number.
! \item If the number starts with {\tt 0} it is parsed as an octal number.
! \item If the number starts with {\tt 0b} is is parsed as a binary number.
! \item Otherwise the number is parsed as a decimal number.
! \end{itemize}
! The conversion to number is done by calling either \function{int()} or
! \function{long()} builtin functions with the appropriate base. If these
! functions fails , so will \module{optparse}, although with a more useful error
! message.  Internally, \module{optparse} raises \exception{OptionValueError} in
  \function{optparse.check_builtin()}; at a higher level (in
! \class{OptionParser}), \module{optparse} catches this exception and terminates
! your program with a useful error message.
  
  Likewise, float arguments are passed to \function{float()} for
  conversion, long arguments to \function{long()}, and complex arguments
