[Question] What is a feasibility of automatic help about default options?

[fadeevab]

Hi!

I was thinking about automatic print of the defaults to the help message, like kingpin and clap do ("-f, --file file [default: ~/path/to]"). After messing around argh code I realized that it would be not really trivial to make a PR... or trivial? What is your ideology about printing defaults to help?

Of course, the easy way is just to manually add them to the description, still...

Thank you!

@benbrittain I'm thinking about PR, does it have sense to try?

[benbrittain]

I'm supportive of any changes that make it easier to use! I am prioritizing code generation size though, so if it bloats that too much we'll have to think up another solution.

@benbrittain Ok, cool, thank you for the answer! I think the biggest problem there would be to figure out how this "quoted!" pseudo-code in TokenStreams should be re-mixed in a proper way, so the code still stays readable and reasonable:)
