POLL: API for mandatory options

[shadowspawn]

The most upvoted and second oldest open issue is #230 to add support for mandatory options which must be specified on the command line.

(This is in addition to the existing support for options with a required value when the option is specified.)

There have been a number of possible forms for the API proposed. Which one would you like to see implemented? You can vote 👍 for more than one, and can vote 👎 against any you dislike.

.requiredOption

program.requiredOption('-f,--foo <value>', 'foo must be supplied');

[shadowspawn]

.optionEx

program.optionEx('-f,--foo <value>', 'foo must be supplied', { required: true });

[shadowspawn]

.option with *

program.option('-f,--foo* ', 'foo must be supplied');

Thanks for the feedback. Implementing .requiredOption() in #1071.
