Support for "switch" style arguments

Forgive me if this is already supported but I couldn’t see how to use it if it is.

I’d like the ability to use options with boolean values that, when specified on the command line, become the opposite of their default values (without specifying a value).

E.g.,

[Option("with-some-feature", Default: false)]
public bool WithSomeFeature { get; set; }

[Option("without-other-feature", Default: true)]
public bool WithoutOtherFeature { get; set; }

$ foo.exe (option WithSomeFeature would be false, WithoutOtherFeature would be true)
$ foo.exe --with-some-feature --without-other-feature (option WithSomeFeature would be true, WithoutOtherFeature would be false)

I am not conviced the Mutual Exclusive options solve the issue, at least not in a general sense.

Only, you pass either --with-some-feature or --without-other-feature, not both together.

I have some-feature and other-feature which are independent, and it makes semantic sense to have some default to false and other default to true. Why should the user be forced to either enable one or disable the other, and not both at the same time? How would this scale with more switch-style arguments?

This seems like an unnecessary burden derived by adapting mutual exclusive options to an use case they were not designed for.

Mutual Exclusive options can do this out of the box, see this example:

      class  Options
	{
		[Option("with-some-feature", SetName = "enable")]
	  public  bool WithSomeFeature { get; set; }

		[Option("without-other-feature", SetName = "disable")]
	 public   bool  WithoutOtherFeature { get; set; }
	}

Only, you pass either --with-some-feature or --without-other-feature , not both together.

The result of the command:

	--with-some-feature

	WithSomeFeature = True
	WithoutOtherFeature = False

The result of the command

	--without-other-feature

	WithSomeFeature = False
	WithoutOtherFeature = True

As you see, they changes values automatic without setting a default value, exclusive to each other. Note: Mutually exclusive options need to have a different SetName.
