Emmanuel Bourg commented on CLI-179:
------------------------------------

[~iweiss] That's only the first pass. If the parsing fails because --help and 
--version are missing, you catch the exception and run a second pass with the 
other options.

> Needs "standalone" options that can be used even if required options are not 
> set

> it is currently impossible to have options like "help" or "version" if we 
> also have some required options. The parsing results in an error "Missing 
> parameters".
> But for an "help" or "version" option, it would be usefull to display the 
> wanted information, even if required options are not set.
