+=== Parsing
+
+\OptionParser has six instance methods for parsing.
+
+Three have names ending with a "bang" (<tt>!</tt>):
+
+- parse!
+- order!
+- permute!
+
+Each of these methods:
+
+- Accepts an optional array of string arguments +argv+;
+  if not given, +argv+ defaults to the value of OptionParser#default_argv,
+  whose initial value is ARGV.
+- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+
+  (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
+- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
+
+The three other methods have names _not_ ending with a "bang":
+
+- parse
+- order
+- permute
+
+Each of these methods:
+
+- Accepts an array of string arguments
+  _or_ zero or more string arguments.
+- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+ and its value _into_.
+  (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
+- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.

+\Method parse!:
+
+- Accepts an optional array of string arguments +argv+;
+  if not given, +argv+ defaults to the value of OptionParser#default_argv,
+  whose initial value is ARGV.
+- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+
+  (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
+- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
+
+The method processes the elements in +argv+ beginning at <tt>argv[0]</tt>,
+and ending, by default, at the end.
+
+Otherwise processing ends and the method returns when:
+
+- The terminator argument <tt>--</tt> is found;
+  the terminator argument is removed before the return.
+- Environment variable +POSIXLY_CORRECT+ is defined
+  and a non-option argument is found;
+  the non-option argument is not removed.
+  Note that the _value_ of that variable does not matter,
+  as only its existence is checked.

+
+\Method parse:
+
+- Accepts an array of string arguments
+  _or_ zero or more string arguments.
+- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+ and its value _into_.
+  (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
+- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
+
+If given an array +ary+, the method forms array +argv+ as <tt>ary.dup</tt>.
+If given zero or more string arguments, those arguments are formed
+into array +argv+.
+
+The method calls
+
+  parse!(argv, into: into)
+
+Note that environment variable +POSIXLY_CORRECT+
+and the terminator argument <tt>--</tt> are honored.
