Description

You can try this with your CLI program (replace `program.exe verb` as appropriate):

`program.exe verb unknownarg`

Replace unknownarg with any random inputs as long as they don't start with `-` and `Parser.Default.ParseArguments` will return `ParserResult.WithParsed`.

It doesn't matter what the value of `ParserSettings.IgnoreUnknownArguments` is.

I don't know if this is a bug or just hasn't been implemented but this is a fundamental problem with the built-in validation of this library.

Does anyone have any solutions to catch unknown args?
