	type of the parameter
ParamValue	default_value
	default value of the parameter stored as string
std::string	description
	description of the parameter
std::string	argument
	argument in the description
bool	required
	flag that indicates if this parameter is required i.e. it must differ from the default value
bool	advanced
	flag the indicates that the parameter is advanced (this is used for writing the INI file only)
