`CountVar` doesn't support default value setting

Open ZhouXing19 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When setting a count flag, the default value setting is not supported -- FlagSet.CountVarP() or FlagSet.CountVar() only takes name and usage as parameters. Weirdly, it is noted in the comment that default value is allowed.

IMHO, the only way to preserve a backard compatibility would be to extend these methods with some ...Option parameter. One such option could support adding a default value.
