Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename Label = AutoLabel::Auto>
class Options::Auto< T, Label >

A class indicating that a parsed value can be automatically computed instead of specified.

When an Auto<T> is parsed from an input file, the value may be specified either as the AutoLabel (defaults to "Auto") or as a value of type T. When this class is passed to the constructor of the class taking it as an option, it can be implicitly converted to a std::optional<U>, for any type U implicitly creatable from a T.
