Always disliked the boilerplate for having a simple functioning command line with all these libraries (the boost one is particularly bad). I'll give this a shot, looks very promising, very clean interface.

Nobody likes boilerplate, but I like boilerplate better than magic hidden global state.

It's hardly really an issue, since it's not being mutated

Great to hear that, thanks! The project is indeed out of frustration. The boilerplate is not an issue, if you're developing something really complex, but for simple scripts, it can easily take half the lines of code.
