Negative Numbers As Arguments

[Patitotective]

Hi, I want to be able to receive positive and negative numbers as positional arguments, however it seems that cligen treats negative numbers as options:
that cligen treats negative numbers as options:

# main.nim
proc brightness(restore = false, values: seq[string]) =
echo values
dipatch brightness

$ main 1 -1
Unknown short option: "1"

I also tried values: seq[int], but to no avail.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. If you don't need to intermingle options and positional arguments on command-lines then you can just use a -- separator between options and arguments, e.g., sum -ab -cx -dy -- -1 -2 -3. If you do need to intermingle (much more rare) then you can prefix the - sign with a space as in sum -ab \ -1 -cx \ -2 -dy \ -3. You could also use quotes instead of escaping that space, of course, as in sum -ab " -1" -cx " -2" -dy " -3".
