Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0  |   Component:  program_options
  Version:  Boost 1.42.0  |    Severity:  Problem

 Assume we have two parameters specified, namely myparam and myparam-other.
 If these are specified (with add_params()) in the given order, the
 parameter --myparam will be mistakenly assigned to myparam-other. If they
 are specified in reverse order, everything will be fine. I guess this is
 not the intended behavior.
