+`OPT_COLOR_FLAG(short, long, &int_var, description)`::
+       Introduce an option that takes an optional argument that can
+       have one of three values: "always", "never", or "auto".  If the
+       argument is not given, it defaults to "always".  The `--no-` form
+       works like `--long=never`; it cannot take an argument.  If
+       "always", set `int_var` to 1; if "never", set `int_var` to 0; if
+       "auto", set `int_var` to 1 if stdout is a tty or a pager,
+       0 otherwise.
