Description

There are certain subclasses of Option which seem to have their own areas of CommandLine and WriteableCommandLine for no apparant reason, The two obvious ones are Switch and PropertyOption which have

{add, get}

Switch and

{add,get}

Property respectively. I can't see why they couldn't simply use addValue with a value of Boolean and Property ( a class for holding key-value pairs) This would allow any subclass of Option to get the same treatment from CommandLine and provide a cleaner interface between Options and Commandlines
