+Objective C Generator `protoc` Options
+--------------------------------------
+
+When generating Objective C code, `protoc` supports a `--objc_opt` argument; the
+argument is comma-delimited name/value pairs (_key=value,key2=value2_). The
+_keys_ are used to change the behavior during generation. The currently
+supported keys are:
+
+  * `generate_for_framework_named`: The `value` used for this key will be used
+    when generating the `#import` statements in the generated code.  Instead
+    of being plain `#import "some/path/file.pbobjc.h"` lines, they will be
+    framework based, i.e. - `#import <VALUE/file.pbobjc.h>`.
