Description
We've used your library a long time, it's very helpful thanks.
I wanted to request that you consider checking for linq errors and not throwing an exception but providing an error.
The best example is this one which I am seeing a lot ( nuget version: 2.8.0 )
System.InvalidOperationException : Sequence contains no elements
This has happened both for coding errors (copying an option class and forgetting to rename verb) but also for user/usage errors, when some arguments don't match.
This is coming from Linq, it would be more helpful to diagnose them if you could check for requirements prior to parsing a verb or argument and return relevant error.
