Custom parser supported?

[Ecordonnier]

Hi, is there support for adding a custom parser by manually specializing a template function?
E.g.;

struct Foobar {
...
};

template <>
const std::vector<Foobar> &cxxopts::OptionValue::as<std::vector<Foobar>>() const
{
...
}

foobar = parsed["foobar"].as<std::vector<Foobar>>();

I tried to specialize template <> T&cxxopts::OptionValue::as<T>() const in order to implement the custom parser, however it returns a reference so I guess it's not the proper way to do this?

My intention was that you could override parse_value with a parser for your type. But I'm not sure that I've done it correctly, and currently it will use the default parser which uses an overload for operator>> with your type.
