This adds a new `Cargo.toml` feature named `deprecated` that opts
controls whether deprecation warnings show up. This is starting off as
non-default though that may change (see below).
Benefits
- Allows a staged rollout so a smaller subset of users see new
deprecations and can report their experience with them before everyone
sees them. For example, this reduces the number of people who have to
deal with #3822.
- This allows people to defer responding to each new batch of
deprecations and instead do it at once. This means we should
reconsider #3616.
The one risk is people who don't follow blog posts and guides having a
harder time upgrading to the next breaking release without the warnings
on by default. For these users, we reserve the right to make the
`deprecated` feature `default`. This is most likely to happen in a
minor release that is released in conjunction with the next major
release (e.g. when releasing 4.0.0, we release a 3.3.0 that enables
deprecations by default). By using a feature, users can still disable
this if they want.
Thanks @joshtriplett for the idea
`multicall` allows you to have one binary expose itself as multiple
programs, like busybox does. This also works well for user clap for
parsing REPLs.
Fixes#2861
`-h` (short help) still shows the same.
This gates it behind an `unstable-v4` feature flag to avoid disrupting users who set the help without knowing where all it shows up (particularly derive users where `ArgEnum` is automatically extracting the help).
Fixes#3312
3468325b8d and afd0342a added extra context to the README's example. However, when browsing it at docs.rs, the builder link just links back to the page you are own, offering little value.
Instead we'll now link to the tutorial which works as a next step from the example and resolves the "what do we link for the builder api" question.
`#[clap(about)]` only overrides `about`. If the doc comment also sets
`long_about`, it won't be overridden. This change is to help raise
visibility of reseting `long_about` in these cases.
