     * <ol>
     *  <li>if <code>stopAtNonOption</code> is <b>true</b> then do not
     *  burst anymore of <code>arguments</code> entries, just add each
     *  successive entry without further processing.  Otherwise, ignore
     *  <code>stopAtNonOption</code>.</li>
     *  <li>if the current <code>arguments</code> entry is "<b>--</b>"
     *  just add the entry to the list of processed tokens</li>
     *  <li>if the current <code>arguments</code> entry is "<b>-</b>"
     *  just add the entry to the list of processed tokens</li>
     *  <li>if the current <code>arguments</code> entry is two characters
     *  in length and the first character is "<b>-</b>" then check if this
     *  is a valid {@link Option} id.  If it is a valid id, then add the
     *  entry to the list of processed tokens and set the current {@link Option}
     *  member.  If it is not a valid id and <code>stopAtNonOption</code>
     *  is true, then the remaining entries are copied to the list of
     *  processed tokens.  Otherwise, the current entry is ignored.</li>
     *  <li>if the current <code>arguments</code> entry is more than two
     *  characters in length and the first character is "<b>-</b>" then
     *  we need to burst the entry to determine its constituents.  For more
     *  information on the bursting algorithm see
     *  {@link PosixParser#burstToken(String, boolean) burstToken}.</li>
     *  <li>if the current <code>arguments</code> entry is not handled
     *  by any of the previous rules, then the entry is added to the list
     *  of processed tokens.</li>
     * </ol>
