## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{parser} =} @var{parser}.addSwitch (@var{argname})
## Add new switch type of argument to the object @var{parser} of inputParser class.
##
## This method belongs to the inputParser class and implements a switch
## arguments type of API.
##
## @var{argname} must be a string with the name of the new argument. Arguments
## of this type can be specified at the end, after @code{Required} and @code{Optional},
## and mixed between the @code{ParamValue}. They default to false. If one of the
## arguments supplied is a string like @var{argname}, then after parsing the value
## of @var{parse}.Results.@var{argname} will be true.
##
## See @command{help @@inputParser} for examples.
