Yes, your interpretation is right.

The meaning of +a should be different of -a.

myapp -a returns as example "Hello world" and myapp +a should return 
"Hello Boost community!".

If it not possible to use boost.program_options, is it the best solution 
to build the own parser with boost.qi rules?

Thanks.
