Summary:
Added functions for parsing, serializing, and comparing elements to OptionTypeInfo. These functions allow all of the special cases that could not be handled directly in the map of OptionTypeInfo to be moved into the map. Using these functions, every type can be handled via the map rather than special cased.
By adding these functions, the code for handling options can become more standardized (fewer special cases) and (eventually) handled completely by common classes.
