Description

Hello, I would like to ask you, whether there can be considered having some verbs with similar or even same options? That is, when the option classes have some relations like inheritance or they are based on same type in F#. Is there possibility to have somehow Parsed with additional info related to verb itself - like verb string or verb attribute?

An example in F#
```
open CommandLine

type CommonOptions = {
[]
ConnectionString: string
[]
DbCollection: string
[]
Directory: string
[]
BatchSize: int
[]
Skip: int
}
[]
type SerializeOptions = CommonOptions

[]
type DeserializeOptions = CommonOptions

```
Then the classic handling as described in the main page
` let result = Parser.Default.ParseArguments(argv) ...
`
won't work (matches with NotParsed).

Research direction

Start with the F# example and the ParseArguments(argv) call shown in the issue. Trace how inherited CommonOptions and Verb attributes are handled, and determine whether shared option types and verb-specific information are supported. Done requires a clearly decided behavior for this case, with the issue's requested usage either supported or explicitly documented as unsupported.
