#1275: boost::program_options::validation_error::what() is private
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous         |       Owner:  vladimir_prus  
     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new            
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  program_options
  Version:  Boost 1.34.1      |    Severity:  Problem        
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The what() method of boost::program_options::validation_error is private,
 making it impossible to properly display the error message to the user (we
 have to catch or upcast to boost::program_options::error, whose what()
 doesn't provide the same level of detail (i.e. the option name)).
