program options bug

Description

Hi all,

When i am using program options backslashes in command line cause returned options corruption.

Create a program option like --my "c:\test\" --my1 "dummy value"

In this case when fetching my option you wll end up with "c:\test\" --my1 as the value

if i modify "c:\test\" to "c:\test" everything will work as expected.

I think this is how Windows command line generally operates. Backslash before quote makes quote an ordinary character. Please see ​http://vladimir_prus.blogspot.com/2004/07/windows-command-line.html
