Description

In linux `tail` option `-f` and `--follow` are distinct in that former do not allow to set any values, but latter allow to set `name` or `descriptor` values.
```
-f, --follow[={name|descriptor}]
output appended data as the file grows;
an absent option argument means 'descriptor'
```

Is it possible to define options class to allow that **with** automatic help generation accordingly?
If it is not possible to generate help, is it possible to just create options to allow the distinction?
