Allows you to specify a default value used when argument is not specified
```console
% app 
Options { version: 42 }
```

If value is present - fallback value is ignored
```console
% app --version 10
Options { version: 10 }
```

Parsing errors are preserved and preserved to user
```console
% app --version ten
Couldn't parse "ten": invalid digit found in string
```

`bpaf` encases parsers with fallback value in usage with `[]`
```console
% app --help
Usage: [--version VERS]

Available options:
        --version <VERS>
    -h, --help            Prints help information
```
