Description
**Describe the bug**
In case of read-only properties in the command line options class, where a property is defined as
```
public string Foo
{
get;
init;
}
```
you will get a `MissingMethodException` when parsing the command line.
**To Reproduce**
See this fiddle https://dotnetfiddle.net/J05g0c
**Expected behavior**
The exception is not thrown
**Additional context**
The resulting stack trace is as follows:
```
