/*! \brief
 * If set, the parameter value is parsed into sorted ranges.

 * Can only be specified for integer parameters.
 * If specified, the value of the parameter (\c gmx_ana_selparam_t::val)
 * consists of sets of two integers, each specifying a range.
 * The values give the endpoints of the ranges (inclusive).
 * The ranges are sorted and overlapping/continuous ranges are merged into
 * a single range to minimize the number of ranges.
 *
 * If this flag is specified, \c gmx_ana_selparam_t::nval gives the number of
 * ranges. \p gmx_ana_selparam_t::nval should be 1 or \ref SPAR_VARNUM should be
 * specified; other values would lead to unpredictable behavior.

 * If set, the parameter can have any number of values.

 * the memory is allocated by the parameter parser.
 * The implementation of the method should ensure that the pointer to the
 * allocated memory is stored somewhere in sel_initfunc();
 * otherwise, the memory is lost.
 *
 * The initial value of \c gmx_ana_selparam_t::nval is not used with this flag.
 * Instead, it will give the number of actual values provided by the user
 * after the parameters have been parsed.
 * For consistency, it should be initialized to -1.

/*! \brief
 * If set, the parameter takes one of a set of predefined strings.
 *
 * Can only be specified for a \ref STR_VALUE parameter that takes a single
 * string.
 * The data pointer in \c gmx_ana_selparam_t::val should be initialized into an
 * array of strings such that the first and last elements are NULL, and the
 * rest give the possible values. For optional values, the second element in
 * the array should give the default value. The string given by the user is
 * matched against the beginnings of the given strings, and if a unique match
 * is found, the first pointer in the array will be initialized to point to
 * the matching string.
 * The data pointer can be initialized as a static array; duplication of the
 * array for multiple instances of the same method is automatically taken care
 * of.
