code: @Deprecated
      public Object getOptionObject(String opt)
      {
          try
          {
              return getParsedOptionValue(opt);
          }
          catch (ParseException pe)
          {
              System.err.println("Exception found converting " + opt + " to desired type: " + pe.getMessage());
              return null;
          }
      }
docs: Return the <code>Object</code> type of this <code>Option</code>.
  
  @param opt the name of the option
  @return the type of this <code>Option</code>
  @deprecated due to System.err message. Instead use getParsedOptionValue(String)
