I have something like this here:

It seems your variant does not support the common convention to use lone two dashes ('--') to separate options from non-options that for some reason start with dashes too (e.g. strangely named files).

My version supports typed values at a different level integrated with config file parsing. So the command line argument values are just strings for me.

It does, actually. See http://repo.or.cz/OptFetch.git/blob/HEAD:/optfetch.c#l172


Oops, sorry. Have no idea why I overlooked it.
