Example of a busybox-style multicall program
See the documentation for `clap::App::multicall` for rationale.
This example omits every command except true and false,
which are the most trivial to implement,
```console
$ busybox true
? 0
$ busybox false
? 1
```
*Note: without the links setup, we can't demonstrate the multicall behavior*
But includes the `--install` option as an example of why it can be useful
for the main program to take arguments that aren't applet subcommands.
```console
$ busybox --install
? failed
...
```
Though users must pass something:
```console
$ busybox
? failed
busybox
USAGE:
busybox [OPTIONS] [APPLET]
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print help information
--install <install> Install hardlinks for all subcommands in path
APPLETS:
false does nothing unsuccessfully
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
true does nothing successfully
```
