Maybe it should not have positional args if subCommands exist Should it have a validation?
It is natural to prevent positional arg and sub command from having same name to avoid ambiguity in terms of parsing.
But, extremely it depends on tool design which should have precedence over the other. If accepting same name, IMHO, since main command has precedence over sub command, its argument(s) should also have it over sub command. 🤔
Or, another way of thinking is that commands as a whole have precedence over arguments.

We need your thought as author, so that we can implement such validation.
- Prevent same name?
- Accept and give precedence to either?
- etc.
Hi. Thinking more, i think probably we should only run main run only when no subcommand is being matched. We have setup hook that always get called. It is a breaking change. Feedbacks welcome about this change.
