From my side, +1 for removing the `ProgramDescription` interface.
I think it is a mismatch with the `main()` method based approach, because
it needs to instantiate the class, while the general entry point is static.
That does not go well together in my opinion. People will write programs with
no default constructor. Previously, with the `Program` interface, such a
constructor was also mandatory, it did fit better there.
