Support for numeric values

[jbx1]

It is not clear if this API supports numeric (integers and floating points) values. One often needs to pass a specific numeric parameters. For example: --max-delay 3000 --max-error 3.24

It also needs to provide support for default values, for when they are omitted and a sensible default needs to be used in that case.

(If this functionality is actually supported the documentation doesn't show how to do this, so needs to be updated).

Yes this is supported in the form of the Read type class. See https://github.com/backuity/clist/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/backuity/clist/Read.scala#L26

There's a section about parsing in the documentation but you're right it's a little obscure if you're not familiar with type classes... I'll add an example.

Much clearer now. Cheers! Will try it out.
