Hello Vinnie,

Indeed that would be ideal for everyone.  We did have a cxxopts patch
accepted
recently.  To bring that more into the land of modern C++ using
std::optional.

https://github.com/jarro2783/cxxopts/pull/421

But we were able to refine that and test it quite a bit on our side, first.

Similarly for boost::sort

https://github.com/boostorg/sort/pull/79
