Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  program_options
  Version:  Boost 1.45.0             |    Severity:  Problem        
 Keywords:  implicit                 |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 I have created a test program (test_progopts.cpp, please see attachment)
 to familiarize myself with the program options library. I have compiled
 and run the test on Windows.

 In my test program I have two visible options "help,?" and "bool-opt,a"
 and one hidden options "input-file". If I run the test program using the
 following commands, I get my expected result:

   test_progopts -?
   test_progopts --help
   test_progopts -a
   test_progopts --bool-opt
   test_progopts test1.cpp

 However, if I run the test program using these commandc, it fails:

   test_progopts -a test1.cpp
   test_progopts --bool-opt test1.cpp

 I get the error message:

   in option 'bool-opt': invalid bool value

 From this error message, it appears that the implicit value is not
 working. Is my observation valid?
