+// ParseClusterURLs parses an array of URLs into ClusterOptions that can be used to connect to Redis.
+// The strings in the array must be in the form:
+//		redis://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>
+//		or
+//		rediss://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>
+// All strings in the array must use the same scheme, username, and password.
+//
+// Most Option fields can be set using query parameters, with the following restrictions:
+//	- field names are mapped using snake-case conversion: to set MaxRetries, use max_retries
+//	- only scalar type fields are supported (bool, int, time.Duration)
+//	- for time.Duration fields, values must be a valid input for time.ParseDuration();
+//	  additionally a plain integer as value (i.e. without unit) is intepreted as seconds
+//	- to disable a duration field, use value less than or equal to 0; to use the default
+//	  value, leave the value blank or remove the parameter
+//	- only the last value is interpreted if a parameter is given multiple times
+//	- fields "network", "addr", "username" and "password" can only be set using other
+//	  URL attributes (scheme, host, userinfo, resp.), query paremeters using these
+//	  names will be treated as unknown parameters
+//	- unknown parameter names will result in an error
+// 	- if query parameters differ between urls, the last one in the array will be used
+// Examples:
+//		[
+//			redis://user:password@localhost:6789?dial_timeout=3&read_timeout=6s&max_retries=2,
+//			redis://user:password@localhost:6790?dial_timeout=3&read_timeout=6s&max_retries=2,
+//			redis://user:password@localhost:6791?dial_timeout=3&read_timeout=6s&max_retries=5,
+//		]
+//		is equivalent to:
+//		&ClusterOptions{
+//			Addr:        ["localhost:6789", "localhost:6790", "localhost:6791"]
+//			DialTimeout: 3 * time.Second, // no time unit = seconds
