Description
Some commands take multiple distinct arguments:
git remote add [<options>] <name> <url>
ln <target> <link_name>
This is typically used for required parameters.
The user doesn't have to specify the name when providing these values.
System.CommandLine currently only supports a single argument.
This argument may be of arity 1+.
The above UX is not possible.
That single argument is made available as a string[].
This is different from Options, where options are bound based on their name to handler argument parameters (related #297). This makes it much less convenient to consume these arguments, than it is to consume Options.
Suggested feature:
- Support multiple arguments per command
- Commands with have subcommands can have at most 1 arguments
- Only the last argument can have arity > 1
- Only the last argument can be optional
~ or relaxed version: If an argument is optional, all arguments succeeding must also be optional
- Support naming arguments for handler binding (cfr Options)
