-c false should turn off the switch for -c.

public bool MyValue { get { return _myValue; } set { _myValue = !value; } }

Just kidding.

That's actually a really good idea and it lets the boolean value be scripted: MyApplication.exe -c "$myBool"

Here is a solution I think is good.
For long option, provide a 'no' option to negate it.
Like "--dryrun" can be negated with "--nodryrun".

To me it seems more like a bug then an enhancement. Either way it is a small thing and already fixed in other branches so implementing it might be an easy win for the project.

It doesn't seem to be fixed in 2.2.1. Any idea when the fix will be released ?
