We do it elsewhere but here it is only distinguished coloring. Inspired by #4218

This requires enabling the [derive
feature flag][crate::_features].
You can use --
to escape further arguments.
Let's see what this looks like in the help:
$ escaped-positional-derive --help
A simple to use, efficient, and full-featured Command Line Argument Parser
Usage: escaped-positional-derive[EXE] [OPTIONS] [-- <SLOP>...]
Arguments:
[SLOP]...
Options:
-f
-p <PEAR>
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
Here is a baseline without any arguments:
$ escaped-positional-derive
-f used: false
-p's value: None
'slops' values: []
Notice that we can't pass positional arguments before --
:
$ escaped-positional-derive foo bar
? failed
error: Found argument 'foo' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
Usage: escaped-positional-derive[EXE] [OPTIONS] [-- <SLOP>...]
For more information try '--help'
But you can after:
$ escaped-positional-derive -f -p=bob -- sloppy slop slop
-f used: true
-p's value: Some("bob")
'slops' values: ["sloppy", "slop", "slop"]
As mentioned, the parser will directly pass everything through:
$ escaped-positional-derive -- -f -p=bob sloppy slop slop
-f used: false
-p's value: None
'slops' values: ["-f", "-p=bob", "sloppy", "slop", "slop"]
