Description
Is there a way to parse command line options without using reflection? As it stands, I have to make a class for each "verb". I would like to be able to specify all of the data that `CommandLineParser` needs without being required to have a class to represent the verbs.
[The documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/commandline/get-started-tutorial#parse-the-arguments-and-invoke-the-parseresult) for `System.CommandLine` gives a good example of something that would be good for us. Ideally, I wouldn't need to switch to `System.CommandLine`, since I already use `CommandLineParser`.
Is there any way to do this?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CommandLineParser API described in the issue and the linked System.CommandLine parsing documentation. Compare the requested verb and option configuration with the existing class-based approach, then define the expected API and acceptance criteria for supporting parsing without reflection or verb classes.
