This is an intermediate solution for #4408. As there were no agreeed
upon goals, I went with what I felt read well and that I saw commonly
used on non-clap commands.
- "information" isn't really a necessary word.
- I originally favored `Print this help` but realied that doesn't read
correctly in completions.
- Besides being shorter, the reason for the flipped short/long hint is
it gives people the context they need for scanning, emphasizing
"summary" and "more".
Fixes#4409
* Copy hide flag
* Revert global args special handling. Another commit will
address the issue of whether global args should be included in
help subtrees.
Adds parser flags to toggle whether to run the
expensive clone logic for completions case.
Help completion will only suggest subcommands, not args.
clap_complete generator sets the flag.
Before we introduced actions, it required specific setups to engage with
claps version and help printing. With actions making that more
explicit, we don't get as much benefit from our multiple, obscure, ways
of users customizing help
Before
- Modify existing help or version with `mut_arg` which would
automatically be pushed down the command tree like `global(true)`
- Create an new help or version and have it treated as if it was the
built-in on (I think)
- Use the same flags as built-in and have the built-in flags
automatically disabled
- Users could explicitly disable the built-in functionality and do what
they want
Now
- `mut_arg` no longer works as we define help and version flags at the
end
- If someone defines a flag that overlaps with the built-ins by id,
long, or short, a debug assert will tell them to explicitly disable
the built-in
- Any customization has to be done by a user providing their own. To
propagate through the command tree, they need to set `global(true)`.
Benefits
- Hopefully, this makes it less confusing on how to override help
behavior. Someone creates an arg and we then tell them how to disable
the built-in
- This greatly simplifies the arg handling by pushing more
responsibility onto the developer in what are hopefully just corner
cases
- This removes about 1Kb from .text
