Ed Page 7e899cd340 Revert "Deprecate Arg::help in favour of Arg::about"
This reverts commits 24cb8b1..d0abb37 from clap-rs/clap#1840

This is part of #16.  clap-rs/clap#1840 wasn't the right call but we
don't have time to make the decision now, so instead of having one
option and changing it in 4.0, this reverts back to clap2 behavior.

// There are two ways in which to get a default value, one is to use clap's Arg::default_value
// method, and the other is to use Rust's built in Option::unwrap_or method.
//
// I'll demo both here.
//
// First, we'll use clap's Arg::default_value with an "INPUT" file.

// Next we'll use the Option::unwrap_or method on this "CONFIG" option

.short('c')
.takes_value(true),
)

let input = matches
.value_of("INPUT")
.expect("'INPUT' is default and parsing will ensure there always is a value");
// Using Option::unwrap_or we get the same effect, but without the added help text injection
let config_file = matches.value_of("CONFIG").unwrap_or("config.json");
println!("The input file is: {}", input);
println!("The config file is: {}", config_file);
