Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  program_options
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0      |   Severity:  Problem

------------------------------+-----------------------------
 With boost-1.59 I am seeing the error with parsing options when the
 options has the implicit value. With boost-1.58 it is working fine.
 However I am not sure it this is bug or it is intended in boost.

 - argv=["binaryname", "--port", "5"]
 - option port have set default_value=6 and implicit_value=7

 What should be the value of port after parsing argv?

 After running parser there is an error "Error parsing command line: too
 many positional options have been specified on the command line".

 This problem occurs when running MongoDB test
 (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/0481c958daeb2969800511e7475dc66986fa9ed5/src/mongo/util/options_parser/options_parser_test.cpp#L753

 ). With boost 1.58 it is passing. Without setting imlicit_value it is
 passing fine also with 1.59.

 Or is this a problem in the test?
