For _t and _os variants, should we wait on clap-rs/clap#2683 which will remove the need for them? Or at least not block this feature on them?

I think that's a good idea, since I am getting the impression that we will probably be working on #2683 as the next big thing after v3 release. Unless you have different plans?

That and a couple other changes that will lay the ground work for help, parser, and other validation changes. I don't think we need to cram them all in but should keep an eye for changes that make it easier to get them in later. #2911 is one example because it means we can attach the reflection traits to the AppParser without making them &mut to allow building since the type system will enforce that building has occurred.
