I'm interested in a more general approach to extend Boost.ProgramOptions  
with new parsers. Then you could add a CGI query parser while I could add  
a parser which reads configuration data from JSON files. Then however  
Boost.ProgramOptions would need to support something more sophisticated  
than key=value pairs. I'm not sure if this can be easily generalized?
