The new version of rustc 1.14.0-nightly (144af3e97 2016-10-02) has new
linting warnings/errors. This commit fixes them.

In some cases settings were only propogated down one level deep, this
commit ensures settings are propogated down through all subcommands
recursively.
Closes#638
* feat: adds App::with_defaults to automatically use crate_authors! and crate_version! macros
One can now use
```rust
let a = App::with_defaults("My Program");
// same as
let a2 = App::new("My Program")
.version(crate_version!())
.author(crate_authors!());
```
Closes#600
* imp(YAML Errors): vastly improves error messages when using YAML
When errors are made while developing, the panic error messages have
been improved instead of relying on the default panic message which is
extremely unhelpful.
Closes#574
* imp(Completions): uses standard conventions for bash completion files, namely '{bin}.bash-completion'
Closes#567
* imp(Help): automatically moves help text to the next line and wraps when term width is determined to be too small, or help text is too long
Now `clap` will check if it should automatically place long help
messages on the next line after the flag/option. This is determined by
checking to see if the space taken by flag/option plus spaces and values
doesn't leave enough room for the entirety of the help message, with the
single exception of of if the flag/option/spaces/values is less than 25%
of the width.
Closes#597
* tests: updates help tests to new forced new line rules
* fix(Groups): fixes some usage strings that contain both args in groups and ones that conflict with each other
Args that conflict *and* are in a group will now only display in the
group and not in the usage string itself.
Closes#616
* chore: updates dep graph
Closes#633
* chore: clippy run
* style: changes debug header to match other Rust projects
* chore: increase version
By using a build.rs "build script" one can now generate a bash completions script which allows tab
completions for the entire program, to include, subcommands, options, everything!
See the documentation for full examples and details.
Closes#376
Now using `App::set_term_width` will set a wrapping width regardless of terminal size. This can
also be used when no terminal size can be determined (Such as on Windows). All help is now wrapped
at 120 if no terminal size has been specified, or can be determined.
Closes#451
This commit adds support for visible aliases, which function exactly like aliases except that they
also appear in the help message, using the help string of the aliased subcommand.
i.e.
```rust
App::new("myprog")
.subcommand(SubCommand::with_name("test")
.about("does testy things")
.alias("invisible")
.visible_alias("visible"));
```
When run with `myprog --help`, the output is:
```
myprog
USAGE:
myprog [FLAGS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
SUBCOMMANDS:
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
test|visible does testy things
```
Closes#522
Allows adding a subcommand alias, which function as "hidden" subcommands that automatically
dispatch as if this subcommand was used. This is more efficient, and easier than creating
multiple hidden subcommands as one only needs to check for the existing of this command,
and not all vairants.
Example:
```
let m = App::new("myprog")
.subcommand(SubCommand::with_name("test")
.alias("do-stuff"))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myprog", "do-stuff"]);
assert_eq!(m.subcommand_name(), Some("test"));
```
Example using multiple aliases:
```
let m = App::new("myprog")
.subcommand(SubCommand::with_name("test")
.aliases(&["do-stuff", "do-tests", "tests"]))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myprog", "do-tests"]);
assert_eq!(m.subcommand_name(), Some("test"));
```
Closes#469
Can now use the `App::before_help` method to add additional information
that will be displayed prior to the help message. Common uses are
copyright, or license information.
Adds three new methods of `Arg` which allow for specifying three new
types of rules.
* `Arg::required_unless`
Allows saying a particular arg is only required if a specific other arg
*isn't* present.
* `Arg::required_unless_all`
Allows saying a particular arg is only required so long as *all* the
following args aren't present
* `Arg::required_unless_one`
Allows saying a particular arg is required unless at least one of the
following args is present.
A new Help Engine with templating capabilities
This set of commits brings a new Help System to CLAP.
Major changes are:
- The help format is (almost) completely defined in `help.rs` instead of being scattered across multiple files.
- The HELP object contains a writer and its methods accept AnyArgs, not the other way around.
- A template option allows the user to change completely the organization of the autogenerated help.
The strategy is to copy the template from the the reader to wrapped stream
until a tag is found. Depending on its value, the appropriate content is copied
to the wrapped stream.
The copy from template is then resumed, repeating this sequence until reading
the complete template.
Tags arg given inside curly brackets:
Valid tags are:
* `{bin}` - Binary name.
* `{version}` - Version number.
* `{author}` - Author information.
* `{usage}` - Automatically generated or given usage string.
* `{all-args}` - Help for all arguments (options, flags, positionals arguments,
and subcommands) including titles.
* `{unified}` - Unified help for options and flags.
* `{flags}` - Help for flags.
* `{options}` - Help for options.
* `{positionals}` - Help for positionals arguments.
* `{subcommands}` - Help for subcommands.
* `{after-help}` - Help for flags.
The largest organizational change is that methods used to generate the help are
implemented by the Help object and not the App, FlagBuilder, Parser, etc.
The new code is based heavily on the old one with a few minor modifications
aimed to reduce code duplication and coupling between the Help and the rest
of the code.
The new code turn things around: instead of having a HelpWriter that holds an
AnyArg object and a method that is called with a writer as argument,
there is a Help Object that holds a writer and a method that is called with a
writer as an argument.
There are still things to do such as moving `create_usage` outside the Parser.
The peformance has been affected, probably by the use of Trait Objects. This
was done as a way to reduce code duplication (i.e. in the unified help code).
This performance hit should not affect the usability as generating and printing
the help is dominated by user interaction and IO.
The old code to generate the help is still functional and is the active one.
The new code has been tested against the old one by generating help strings
for most of the examples in the repo.
Adds a crate_authors! macro that fetches
crate authors from a (recently added)
cargo enviromental variable populated
from the Cargo file. Like the
crate_version macro.
