Problem using std::list or std::deque for positional args

[1pakch]

I tried using list or deque for positional args and this does not seem to work. I can't pass the desired type to parse positional as it not overloaded for arbitrary types.

I see that you keep positional args in m_positional at some point which is hardcoded as vector of strings (not quite sure why, I guess there is no need for random access to previously parsed arguments).

EDIT: removed incorrect reason for the error

So just to clarify you want to call Options::parse_positional with an arbitrary object that represents a list of strings?

[jarro2783]

I just tried using

template <typename Container>
void parse_positional(Container&&)

and realised that it isn't as simple as that, because passing a string matches that and then fails with a compile error.

I'll work on this and get something working, but it's not straight forward.
