Speaking about -v -v -v, there's no stock way to achieve that. However, the provided interfaces seem to make it possible:

1. Derive from value_semantics.

2. Define the 'parse' method to add one to already stored value.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will give it a try!

If you're volunteering, you're most welcome.

Well, I'd really like to be able to get the functionality of GNU getopt_long's 'optional_argument' feature. Do you have any sense of the feasability of that? If it seems feasable, I might be able to take a crack at it. -Bryan
