an initial idea for parsing and storing defaults

[bernt-matthias]

Just an idea. No idea if useful / correct. Might be better to do it at another place.

I guess also regular expressions testing if the extracted value is really an integer, float, list, ... would be a good idea.

Please also add a test case, following the same points from #15.

• Firstly, can this type annotation be optional please? e.g. Optional[object]
• Secondly, and this is annoying I know, but could you add a type annotation override for the subclasses, such that CliInt has default: Optional[int] etc?

Can do, but I never found the time to learn these python testing frameworks. If you could provide me the framework I can fill in the details I guess.

The framework is pytest, which is the simplest testing framework. You just define a test_x function and put some assert statements inside it. See this file for some simple examples: https://github.com/aCLImatise/CliHelpParser/blob/master/test/name_generation/test_description.py
