Is there a way to control the hidden attribute of a command line option at runtime? The use case I'm working with requires that an option should only be available to the user when executing the application on a specific operating system. For example:

private static final boolean isDarwin = Utils.isOSType(OSType.Darwin);

@CommandLine.Option(names = {"-o", "--open"}, 
    description = "On OSX open the finder to the data dir that was downloaded.", 
    showDefaultValue = CommandLine.Help.Visibility.ALWAYS, 
    hidden = !isDarwin) // hide this option on all OS's other than Darwin (OSX)
boolean open = false;

The above example would be ideal, although the compiler complains that the value for the hidden attribute must be a constant expression. I'm guessing it has to do with the way the annotation processor generates the code at compile time.

Since the above isn't supported, can I get at the CommandLine.Option object and toggle the hidden attribute at runtime, let's say like in the constructor of my object?

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance!
