> It would be nice if OptionAccessor.getProperty() would also use the getParsedOptionValue() before falling back to getOptionValue()
> Currently to use a parsed option value you have to do something like
> {code}
> def cliBuilder = new CliBuilder()
> cliBuilder.d longOpt: 'directory', args: 1, type: File, 'd option'
> def arguments = cliBuilder.parse args
> if (!arguments) {
>     System.exit 1
> }
> def directory
> if (arguments.directory) {
>    directory = arguments.getParsedOptionValue 'directory'
> } else {
>    directory = System.properties.'user.dir' as File
> }
> {code}
> if would be nicer to instead just do
> {code}
> def cliBuilder = new CliBuilder()
> cliBuilder.d longOpt: 'directory', args: 1, type: File, 'd option'
> def arguments = cliBuilder.parse args
> if (!arguments) {
>     System.exit 1
> }
> def directory
> if (arguments.directory) {
>    directory = arguments.directory
> } else {
>    directory = System.properties.'user.dir' as File
> }
> {code}
> I think something along the lines of changing
> {code}
>     def getProperty(String name) {
>         def methodname = 'getOptionValue'
>         if (name.size() > 1 && name.endsWith('s')) {
>             def singularName = name[0..-2]
>             if (hasOption(singularName)) {
>                 name = singularName
>                 methodname += 's'
>             }
>         }
>         if (name.size() == 1) name = name as char
>         def result = InvokerHelper.getMetaClass(inner).invokeMethod(inner, methodname, name)
>         if (null == result) result = inner.hasOption(name)

>     def getProperty(String name) {

>         if (name.size() > 1 && name.endsWith('s')) {
>             def singularName = name[0..-2]

>         if (result instanceof String[]) result = result.toList()

> should do what I mean, as getParsedOptionValue() returns null if no type is set or the type is unknown to the TypeHandler.
