Description

I have defined an options class like this:
```cs
public class FileOptions
{
public FileOptions(IEnumerable fileCouples)
{
this.FileCouples = fileCouples;
}

[Value(
0,
Min = 1,
Max = 2,
MetaName = "FileCoupleHelpName",
HelpText = "FileCoupleHelpText",
ResourceType = typeof(Resources))]
public IEnumerable FileCouples { get; }
}
```
It is written [here](https://github.com/commandlineparser/commandline/wiki/Help-Localization) that the `HelpText` can be localized when we specify the `ResourceType` and give `HelpText` the name of the string in the Resources file. While that works for the `HelpText`, it doesn't for the `MetaName`, which is a bit unfortunate in my opinion. Indeed, the help generated with the above options class gets its help text translated, but not the meta name, which also appears in the help.

Is there a way to make it happen?
