Parsing command line arguments without using reflection? #945
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 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?

Thats the way it was designed.
If you have a way to do it, even a draft PR would go a long way towards showing a way to do it like you suggest.

I speculated this would be a great v3 addition.
A fluent builder of sorts. Ideally not having to enumerate all possible options just to narrow down to one verb at runtime
