> Tried to write this code with picocli only to be surprised when it didn't work.
> {code:java}
> @CommandLine.Option( 
>  names = { "--level"},
>  defaultValue = "error",
>  showDefaultValue = CommandLine.Help.Visibility.ALWAYS,
>  description = "enable debug logging"
> )
> private Level logLevel = Level.ERROR;{code}
> this means that picocli and many libraries wouldn't be able to simply generate options. In this case I'll have to do quite a bit more work to tell picocli all the possible values.
> perhaps a new API enum could be introduced and method overloading could be used to use it.
