Change how command-line arguments are parsed. Add --version switch.

 *   Established an abstract base class for compiler backends.
 *   Fixed a bug where tagged values were being tagged again
     during a cast from a union type to another union type.
+*   ArgumentParser is used instead of OptionParser to parse
+    command-line arguments. `--version` added, `--test` (and
+    remaining doctests in source modules) removed.

 file, and only test it once.  Run all the *other* tests on every
 backend.
 
-Also make sure that doctests are run by test script.

 ### Design ###
 
 Don't output final value.  Command-line arguments passed to `main`.  (`sysmain`?)
