Description

getParsedOptionValue returns null unless Option.type gets explicitly set. The user expects it to be String unless set to any other type.
This coult be either fixed in the Option constructor or in CommandLine.getParsedOptionValue. Mentioning this behaviour in Javadoc would be advisable.
