I'm writing a program that can accept subcommands via either the
command line (ex. `prog mycmd 1 2`) or via a shell. I represent
each command as a function, use UDAs to store the help text and
if they can be ran from the command line or shell. The command
list, full help text, and command dispatcher is generated at
compile time via templates, CTFE, and static foreach.
An example command:
@("<nanoseconds>") // arguments
@("Sets the amount of time to increment the clock on each
frame.") // description
@ShellOnly // can't be ran from command line
int cmd_set_time_per_frame(string[] args) {
// ...
}
