Accept dashes as switch markers

[jacebennett]

I can't kick off my command line utility from bash because '/D' is expanded to a directory by the shell. I'd like to be able to use either slash or dash to mark a switch so that I can use the utility from a broader set of environments.

IModelBindingDefinition defines a property called SwitchDelimiter that allows you to change it to something other than the default forward slash /. You can also call the extension method AsFluent() off of IModelBindingDefinition, then call UsingSwitchDelimiter() to change the delimiter used by Args.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Awesome. I'll look at it. I'm really wanting to have both options, perhaps even mix-n-match. Would this allow for that? If not, I'll make a pull request as I'm reworking Thorn (soon).

You mean to allow for a command like:

myapp.exe -d "my value" /t 0

Args doesn't currently support that, it runs under the assumption that all delimiters are the same.

The mix 'n match is really silly. Nevermind. What I'll do is surface a configuration for it in thorn and pass it to you when I create the binding definition. Thanks. For having fixed my issue before I had it. =o)
