What are different options for CLI besides getopt and getopt_long?
Is C++, but docopt is great for CLI arguments. docopt is available in other language as well, e.g. python. The nice thing about docopt is that the command line arguments/syntax is automagically derived from your 'help' string.

Conan: how to obtain header-only lib for source distribution?
I'm using Conan on a little project. One of the dependencies for the project is a single-header, header-only lib. Usually, I use the cmake_find_package generator and it works fine. Conan downloads the library into its system-wide library store, and generates a Findargs.cmake file in the build dir, which references that global path.
