Default value for option assumes option is being used

[mrmartineau]

In the commander docs, default values are specified like so:
(I added a default value of foo to the --peppers option to illustrate my point)

var program = require('commander');

program
  .version('0.0.1')
  .option('-p, --peppers', 'Add peppers', 'foo')
  .parse(process.argv);

if (program.peppers) console.log(program.peppers + '  - peppers');

The last line contains if (program.peppers) which will be called if --peppers contains a value, but in this scenario, it always does get executed regardless of if I use the -p or --peppers flag. I would like to be able to provide a default value (like this) and only execute a result if a flag has been used, is that possible? I haven't found the correct way to achieve what I want from the documentation, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant solution than what I've done below:

var program = require('commander');
var userArgs = process.argv.slice(2);

program
  .version('0.0.1')
  .option('-p, --peppers', 'Add peppers', 'foo')
  .parse(process.argv);

if (userArgs.indexOf('-p') !== -1) console.log(program.peppers + '  - peppers');

This works but is there a way to achieve this using commander itself, like if (program.peppers)?

This appears to be working in the current version, are you still having this problem?

@pal yes, it seems to be working as expected now. Thanks
