+ // This example shows how to create an application with several arguments using macro builder.
+ // It combines the simplicity of the from_usage methods and the performance of the Builder Pattern.
+ //
+ // The example below is functionally identical to the one in 01a_quick_example.rs and 01b_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")
