Add CLA sectioning for better help message of long list of CLAs
For CLI having a long list of CLAs it could be helpful to section CLAs in families of CLAs, e.g. files-section, dirs-section, input-section...
Something similar to argparse groups that is different from FLAP groups that are, indeed, argparse subcommands.
Example
type(command_line_interface) :: cli
call cli%init
call cli%add(switch='--grid_file', &
switch_ab='-g', &
help='Grid file name', &
required=.true., &
act='store', &
section='files', &
error=error)
call cli%add(switch='--sol_file', &
switch_ab='-s', &
help='Solution file name', &
required=.true., &
act='store', &
section='files', &
error=error)
call cli%add(switch='--sim_dir', &
switch_ab='-g', &
help='Simulation directory path', &
required=.true., &
act='store', &
section='directories', &
error=error)
That should generate something like
usage...
files:
--grid_file Grid file
...
directories
--sim_dir Simulation directory path
