 === Custom Argument Converters
 
 You can create custom argument converters.
-To create a custom converter, call OptionParser#accept with a class argument,
-along with a block that converts the argument and returns the converted value.
+To create a custom converter, call OptionParser#accept with:
+
+- An identifier, which may be any object.
+- An optional match pattern, which defaults to <tt>/.*/m</tt>.
+- A block that accepts the argument and returns the converted value.
+
+This custom converter accepts any argument and converts it,
+if possible, to a \Complex object.

+
+To use \OptionParser:
+
+1. Require the \OptionParser code.
+2. Create an \OptionParser object.
+3. Define one or more options.
+4. Parse the command line.
+
+File +basic.rb+ defines three options, <tt>-x</tt>,
+<tt>-y</tt>, and <tt>-z</tt>, each with a descriptive string,
+and each with a block.
+
+  :include: ruby/basic.rb
+
+From these defined options, the parser automatically builds help text:
+
+  $ ruby basic.rb --help
+  Usage: basic [options]
+      -x                               Whether to X
+      -y                               Whether to Y
+      -z                               Whether to Z
+
+When an option is found during parsing,
+the block defined for the option is called with the argument value.
+
+Executions:
+
+  $ ruby basic.rb -x -z
+  ["x", true]
+  ["z", true]
+  $ ruby basic.rb -z -y -x
