 Hi,
 I defined some options:

 {{{
 optionsDescription.add_options()
      ....
     ("output-file,o", program_options::value<std::string>(), "Result
 file")
      ....;
 }}}

 Now, when I start my program without an argument (e.g. ./myprog -o) the
 error message says:

 the required argument for option '--file' is missing

 instead of

 the required argument for option '--output-file' is missing

 This worked at least with version 1.48.
