I don't know if this is a "feature" or a "bug".
Update: The example above is bad in the sense that argv is different from what it would look like when using from the shell, which influences the error messages. A better example is:
> const arg = require('arg')
undefined
> arg({"--int": parseInt}, {argv:["--int", "-100"]})

at arg (node-cli-arguments-options/arg/node_modules/arg/index.js:105:13)Since the repo doesn't seem to be maintained (sorry for that, it's not true, must have switched the name with one of the other repos), just filing this to make people aware since I discovered it while comparing features of different argument parsers (WIP)
