> If the exception messages when required fields aren't found were worded a bit 
> better, it would prevent users of this API from having to regenerate messages 
> to their users on what went wrong.  As it is now, the exception message just 
> states the names of the options that were not found.  If this message contained 
> some phrase stating something like: "The following required fields were not 
> found: -r, -g.", then we could just pass the exception message on to the user.  
> A better way to approach the problem might be some sort of way to customize 
> common error messages as long as it was done in a way that would reduce the 
> amount of coding needed by the user of the API.
