Description
For the command line parser, there is the [`allow_unregistered()` method](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/program_options/howto.html#id-1.3.32.6.9) to not throw an exception whenever an option is not recognized.
However, this is missing from the configuration file and environment parsers.
It is possible to do work around this for both [configuration files](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23664503/parsing-unregistered-options-for-config-files-in-boost-program-options) and [environment](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53285248/boost-program-options-allow-undeclared-from-environment), but I am of the opinion this should be handled in similar fashion to the command line parsers!
