----

Right now it's impossible to raise my own parser errors because all classes relating to the error system are `sealed` with `internal` constructors.

This snippet from `HelpTextTests` is completely inaccessible:

```
var fakeResult = new NotParsed(
TypeInfo.Create(typeof(NullInstance)),
new Error[]
{
new BadFormatTokenError("badtoken"),
new MissingValueOptionError(new NameInfo("x", "switch")),
new UnknownOptionError("unknown"),
new MissingRequiredOptionError(new NameInfo("", "missing")),
new SequenceOutOfRangeError(new NameInfo("s", "sequence")),
new NoVerbSelectedError(),
new BadVerbSelectedError("badverb"),
new HelpRequestedError(), // should be ignored
new HelpVerbRequestedError(null, null, false) // should be ignored
});
```

Please publicly expose the error system to support custom error management.
