Description
Base class for value agumentors.
A ValueAugmenter is invoked after a switch argument (explicit or default) is parsed and somehow merges the newly parsed value with previous values. The augmenter is called only when the switch whichProperty is set to SAVE_AUGMENTED.
The merge is performed by the function operator, which is given two sets of parsed values: the values that were previously parsed and stored in a ParserResult for the same switch key, and the values that were recently parsed for the switch. The method should combine the two in some way and return a new set of values that replace all previous and recently parsed values. The return values should contain appropriate information for the valueLocation, valueString, switchLocation, switchString, and valueSaver properties. Most of the time these properties can be initialized from parsed values passed to the function operator.
Most subclasses will have factory functions to instantiate reference counted, allocated objects. See Command line value augmenter factories for a list.

Called when a switch's value is about to be stored into the ParserResult.
The previously stored switch values for all switch occurrences that used this same key are provided in the first arugment. The recently parsed value (or values if the switch value was a list that was then exploded) is provided as the second argument. The function should return a new value (or values) that will replace the values passed on the command-line.
Implemented in Rose::Color::ColorizationMerge, and Sawyer::CommandLine::Sum< T >.
