mandatory true/false

[joaociocca]

so I'm back at using this to see if I can fully replace my ls usage with it... but I feel the mandatory need to supply "true" to be bit heavy. I mean, if I type pls -g shouldn't it be the same as pls --grid true or even just pls --grid?

I want to bring attention to the mandatory part. I think there may be times when setting to false may be useful, and so a --grid false would stand... but as a user, I don't understand the need for true.

On this, I completely agree that providing true is excessively verbose. But the command line parsing library that pls uses (clap) either

1. requires the value to be mandatory

   This means that either true or false must be supplied after the flag name. E.g. --grid true or --grid=false.

2. requires an = between the flag and value

   This means a space is no longer a valid separator. E.g. --grid (equivalent to --grid=true) or --grid=false.

I chose 1 because that was easier to reason about. There might be workarounds for this so I'll definitely merge PRs fixing this or implement that myself if I find a solution.
