feature enhancement: typed arg?

[mw66]

Hi,

Right now the arg's type is either string, or string[], and user need to convert manually to other types, e.g.

    int depth = args.arg("depth").to!int;

is it possible to allow user specify the arg type directly, e.g.

          .add(new IntArgument("depth", "dir depth"))

and access it directly later as:

    int depth = args.arg("depth");  // directly get int value

Thanks.

BTW, I think we only need to support 3 basic types:

-- string // already there
-- bool
-- int

It would be awesome yes.
On the latest DConf several talks were about parsers.
Maybe this information can be leveraged on the improvements for the argument parser as well
