Comment:

 I think the library is behaving at it should. Implicit makes the option
 accept zero tokens. However, the option will still accept a token if one
 is provided. Your command line has:

     --bool-opt test1.cpp

 and test1.cpp is treated as value for --bool-opt. You can use bool_switch
 function to create optin that never accepts parameters.

 Does this answer your question?
