Wow, thanks @TheHippoMan for the kind feedback & detailed bug report. I am surprised to hear someone else has gotten use outta this package besides myself. That's neat.
Thanks for submitting an issue about this. I'll take a gander, I think think I know what the problem is.
@TheHippoMan should be all set. Updated to respect the casing of the option flags. Also added a test for this scenario. Seems to be working, bumped up the versions for the repo. Lmk if you have any other issues.
Thank you!
I'm very happy with this argparse package! Thank you for your excellent work.
I just found one very tiny issue:
I want to specify a command-line option that can take 4 values: "-r", "-R", "--recurse", and "--recursive". I know that I can do so as follows:
recursiveFlag := argparse.NewFlag("r R recurse recursive", "recursive", "Run recursively").Default("false")
This works perfectly when I run the program: all possibilities for the option are indeed accepted. However, if the "help" text is printed, the following shows up in the "optional arguments:" section ...
-r, -r, --recurse, --recursive Run recursively
In other words, the "-R" option is translated to lower case in this "help" text.
Again, I know that the command-line parser itself handles this correctly, because if I leave "R" out of the NewFlag() function call, then "-R" is no longer accepted by the command-line parser.
This is nothing more than a small issue with the rendering of the "help" text.
