Argument validation + shortcuts

[sailormoon]

Now that there are some basic unit tests, flag validation and multiple arguments should be added.

Currently thinking of a syntax similar to:

const flags::args args(argc, argv);
if (const auto opt = args.get_multiple<bool>("flag", "f", "no-flag", "other")) {
  const auto [argument, value] = *opt;
  // do something -- *argument will be the first of "flag", "f", or "no-flag" that matched
  // and *value will be its value.
}

for multiple arguments.

Great library!
Any update on defining short and long flags at the same get method?
Currently I do:

const auto help = args.get("help",false) || args.get("h",false); // for booleans
and
int number = args.get("number",0) ; if (number == 0) number = args.get("n",2); // or pipe does not work :(

would be nice to replace that like so:
const auto help = args.get({"help","h"},false);
const auto number = args.get({"number","n"},2) ;

Anyway great work! Small executables and not much overhead!

Hey @mittelmark , sorry for the long delay here. https://github.com/sailormoon/flags?tab=readme-ov-file#get-with-aliases should now be available. I couldn't think of a clean way to implement default values, but now that std::optional has value_or, we can leverage that. The API will look like:

const auto number = args.get<int>("number", "n").value_or(2);

Thank you for your patience!
