//extract Options object and errors
Options options= result.Value;
var Errors = result.Errors;
```
- Add support for flags enums.

- Implement verb aliases.
```cs
[Verb("copy", aliases: new string[] { "cp", "cpy" }, HelpText = "Copy some stuff")]
public class CopyVerb
{
//....
}
```
You can use verb alias:
```
$ myprg copy -f file.txt
$ myprg cp -f file.txt # use alias
$ myprg cpy -f file.txt # use alias
```
- New Unparsing Extension method is added: `FormatCommandLineArgs` to return array of strings.
see [wiki](https://github.com/commandlineparser/commandline/wiki/Unparsing#unparsing-to-array-of-strings)
- New string extension method `SplitArgs` to split commandline string with handling double quote with/o keeping the double quote and ignoring the extra spaces in the string.
```cs
var myargs="-a xyz --name \"path to file\" -b 123";
string[] args =myargs.SplitArgs(); //return {"-a","xyz","--name","path to file", "-b", "123"}
string[] args =myargs.SplitArgs(true); //keep quote and return {"-a","xyz","--name","\"path to file\"", "-b", "123"}
```
- Allow single dash as a value, now it's allowed: `-a - --filename -` .
