Right now it's pretty much impossible to extend the library for custom template types because we can't have partial function template specializations in C++ (and thus cannot partially specialize
CLI::detail::lexical_cast
). Note that just throwing an overload intoCLI::detail
doesn't work because the overload should be visible at the call site, and to have that you'd have to first declare the overload, and only then include the CLI11 headers. Not very practical.This PR fixes it by making sure all calls to
lexical_cast
are done via argument-dependent lookup.
