   After correct Setting has been selected, tryToSet is called with the remainder of the command line.

   After correct Setting has been selected, tryToSet is called with the remainder of the command line. It consumes any applicable arguments and returns the unconsumed ones.

7. #### abstract def withAbbreviation(name: String): AbsSetting.this.type

   In mutable Settings, these return the same object with a var set.

   In mutable Settings, these return the same object with a var set. In immutable, of course they will return a new object, which means we can't use "this.type", at least not in a non-casty manner, which is unfortunate because we lose type information without it.

   ...but now they're this.type because of #3462. The immutable side doesn't exist yet anyway.
