// This example shows how to create an application with several arguments using usage strings, which can be
// far less verbose that shown in 01b_QuickExample.rs, but is more readable. The downside is you cannot set
// the more advanced configuration options using this method (well...actually you can, you'll see ;) )
//
// The example below is functionally identical to the 01b_quick_example.rs and 01c_quick_example.rs
//
// Create an application with 5 possible arguments (2 auto generated) and 2 subcommands (1 auto generated)
// - A config file
// + Uses "-c filename" or "--config filename"
// - An output file
// + A positional argument (i.e. "$ myapp output_filename")
// - A debug flag
// + Uses "-d" or "--debug"
// + Allows multiple occurrences of such as "-dd" (for vary levels of debugging, as an example)
// - A help flag (automatically generated by clap)
// + Uses "-h" or "--help" (Only autogenerated if you do NOT specify your own "-h" or "--help")
// - A version flag (automatically generated by clap)
// + Uses "-V" or "--version" (Only autogenerated if you do NOT specify your own "-V" or "--version")
// - A subcommand "test" (subcommands behave like their own apps, with their own arguments
// + Used by "$ myapp test" with the following arguments
// > A list flag
// = Uses "-l" (usage is "$ myapp test -l"
// > A help flag (automatically generated by clap
// = Uses "-h" or "--help" (full usage "$ myapp test -h" or "$ myapp test --help")
// > A version flag (automatically generated by clap
// = Uses "-V" or "--version" (full usage "$ myapp test -V" or "$ myapp test --version")
// - A subcommand "help" (automatically generated by clap because we specified a subcommand of our own)
// + Used by "$ myapp help" (same functionality as "-h" or "--help")
