Post a comparison of this library with boost::program_options #165

The standard C++ library doesn't include any option parsing functionality, but Boost does: boost::program_options.

Could you possibly post an overview of the differences in functionality (and perhaps dependencies and implementation approach) between this library and the Boost one?

I think I can write that down somewhere.

DavidAntliff commented 5 years ago

Just wondering if this exists yet? No problem if it doesn't, but I am curious as to the main differences...

I concur. Seeing the difference would be helpful. At the feature level certainly, but also the compile time and binary size differences for a few compilers.
