Support alternative options
Closed this issue · 1 comments

We should add support for alternative options like this:
add [--verbose | -v]
This should match either add --verbose
or add -v
, but not both.
This is also useful for situations like this:
install [--dev | --no-dev]
Depends on #2

For the reference: I've actually implemented this (local branch only so far) with explicit parenthesis syntax like this:
add (user | admin) <name>
While this makes sense in sentence expression like above, this is a bit fiddly for optional groups like this:
add [(--verbose | -v)]
This means that parenthesis should be part of the syntax, but actually be optional in cases where it's unambiguous.
