Not possible to parse byte nor uint

[sn4k3]

Example:

new Option<byte>(new[] {"-v", "--version"}, "Sets the file format version"),
new Option<uint>(new[] {"-v", "--version"}, "Sets the file format version"),

Produces:

Cannot parse argument '1' for option '-v' as expected type 'System.Byte'.
Cannot parse argument '11' for option '-v' as expected type 'System.UInt32'.

ushort works and gives error for negative numbers!

I just ran into this after upgrading to the latest version. It was working previously in Beta1.

Workaround is to create a ParseArgument<uint> and pass it in to the Option<uint> constructor. From my code using a default value.

ParseArgument<uint> lightParser = (ArgumentResult result) =>
{
    if(result.Tokens.Any())
    {
        var value = result.Tokens.First().Value;
        if (uint.TryParse(value, out uint light))
        {
            return light;
        }
        result.ErrorMessage = $"Error: {value} is not an unsigned integer";
    }
    return defaultLight;
};

var option = new Option<uint>(new string[]{ "--light", "-l" }, lightParser, description: "Lorem Ipsum");

The issue is that uint and byte are not in the dictionary of string converters in the ArgumentConverter class.

This can be closed, it was fixed by #1661
