<h3><a name="Iterationnumber2"></a>Iteration number 2</h3>

<p>By merging the notion of `Option` and `OptionValueTupple` in a single element and using the Option class<br/>
as identifier for the option, we simplify the number of classes and make it more type safe when using it.<br/>
Options would then be identified by their class and possibly their unique identifier.</p>

<p>Note that we end up using classes instead of interfaces for the design. Is that a bad thing?</p>
